Thompson, Wendy The Life and Times of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart - A Bicentennial Tribute
London Grange 1996 185627828X / 9781856278287 First Edition Hard Cover Very Good Very Good
A near Fine unmarked copy in coloured laminated boards as dustjacket whose only fault is bumping to top corner tips. Dustjacket is complete. The book traces Mozarts life from beginning to end, from the archetypal prodigy who started composing at the age of five, toured the courts of Europe as a child, astounding monarchs with his amazing aptitude for keyboard playing and improvisation; who at fourteen copied out from memory a complex choral piece heard once in the Sistine Chapel, and who died impecunious at the age of thirty five. Illustrated throughout in colour with contemporary engravings, paintings, title pages of first editions, facsimiles of the original scores, representations of performances, and images of the cities, palaces, opera houses and concert halls which first heard his work. **** NOT EX LIB **** **** A HEAVY VOLUME OF 0.8 KILO UNPACKED WEIGHT WHICH MAY REQUIRE EXTRA SHIPPING COST ****
