ISBN 9780143126065. English. [Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart] By Paul Johnson.

In this brilliant biography, acclaimed historian Paul Johnson draws upon his expert knowledge of the era and Mozart's own private letters to conjure Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart's life and times in rich detail. Johnson charts Mozart's life from age three through to his later years. Along the way, Johnson challenges some of the popular myths that cloud Mozart's image: his allegedly tempestuous personal relationships and supposedly bitter rivalry with Salieri, as well as the notion that he was desperately impoverished when he died. The result---a bold, invigorating portrait of one of the most popular and influential composers of all time.

Written by Nick Johnstone, composed by The Clash. Biographical book. With black & white photos. 127 pages. Published by Music Sales.
