The Complete Operas of Mozart : A Critical Guide

by Charles Osborne

In this volume, Mozart's 22 operas are explored from four points of view: his life at the time each was written; the story, and the way it links with the music; the libretto and librettist, and Mozart's relations with his publishers; and the music itself, analyzed with examples from the score.
