Reviews

[Ad]

A wonderful guide to the music and life of Mozart. I have been using this book for almost 3 decades.

[Argel Landeros]

Outdated but still good…

[c]

got about halfway but realised there was no point as i’ll inevitably read more detailed stuff about all of this (?)

[Michael]

More information about Mozart than one can shake a stick at. Only for intermediate readers, as it can be a bit dry. It took awhile to read this book, lest Mozart starts running out of my ear. Still, I can imagine cracking this book for certain details.

[Tom Bouwman]

A standard work in Mozartology. Landon is one of the best and well known Mozart-scholars of all time and his book offers a near complete picture of the composer. Verry detailed and well written. Should be on the shelve of every Mozart-lover.

[Michael Flick]

Indispensable for the Mozart fanatic (that would be me).
