This is the story of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, illustrated with examples of his music. The biography tells of Mozart's childhood travelling the courts of Europe, and of how, after a brief period of fame in Vienna, his fortunes declined until his early death and his last resting place in a pauper's grave. This title features over 70 excerpts, from Mozart's operas, symphonies, chamber music and choral works, including 'The Requiem'.
