Product Description
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart remains one of the most intriguing historical figures ever. By the time he died at the early age of 35, he had already left behind some of the most important music ever created. Just in time for the 250th anniversary of his birth, this picture book for the whole family tells the tale of Mozart's life, from child prodigy to Imperial Royal Chamber Composer for Emperor Joseph the II to his work as one of the world's first freelance composers. Mozart's life and his music are virtually inseparable, since so many of his experiences and observations came out in his music. Listen to the selection of Mozart's music on the enclosed CD as you read along, and you'll see how Mozart's life influenced his music—and his music influenced his life.
