    Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart-Herbert Francis Peyser
    2026/11/07
    Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart by Herbert Francis Peyser.

    Mozart’s earthly career was so poignantly short yet so filled with incalculable achievement that the author of this booklet finds himself confronted with an impossible task. He has, consequently, preferred to outline as best he could in the space at his disposal a few successive details of a life that was amazingly crowded with incident, early triumphs, and subsequent crushing tragedies, rather than to consider (let alone evaluate) the staggering creative abundances the master bequeathed mankind.

    Featured on Schubert And His Works.
