A biography of the greatest musical mind in Western history
Mozart’s unshakable hold on the public’s consciousness can only be strengthened by historian and biographer Peter Gay’s concise and deft look at the genius’s life. Mozart traces the development of the man whose life was a whirlwind of achievement, and the composer who pushed every instrument to its limit and every genre of classical music into new realms.
