Mozart's Letters, Mozart's Life

<p><strong>"A wonderful collection that gives Mozart a voice as a son, husband, brother and friend." €•<em>New York Times Book Review</em></strong></p> "Mozart's honesty, his awareness of his own genius and his contempt for authority all shine out from these letters."€•<em>Sunday Times</em>  (London). " In <em>Mozart's Letters, Mozart's Life</em>, Robert Spaethling presents "Mozart in all the rawness of his driving energies" (<em>Spectator</em>), preserved in the "zany, often angry effervescence" of his writing (<em>Observer</em>). Where other translators have ignored Mozart's atrocious spelling and tempered his foul language, "Robert Spaethling's new translations are lively and racy, and do justice to Mozart's restlessly inventive mind" (<em>Daily Mail</em>). Carefully selected and meticulously annotated, this collection of letters "should be on the shelves of every music lover" (<em>BBC Music Magazine</em>). 16 pages of illustrations
