Although Mozart deserves the respect and recognition for his work, it can be said that a large part of his personality has gone unnoticed. Which is difficult to imagine thanks to the many quirks this 18th century musician had to his name.
Apart from the curiosities of Mozart, you’ll also learn about his childhood, which truly reveals the talent that he is so well known for. All in all, these books deliver on their promise of a fun yet informative read.
Great inspiration for a little one starting out on the piano!

Who recommended this book? This was recommended by Nikola Djurkovic from PolicyAdvice. |
Even in 2020, Mozart continues to fascinate with not only the amazing quality of his music but his bizarre life-story and persona. This book provides a thorough account of Mozart’s life, from the musical accomplishments to his harsh upbringing by his tyrannical father and quirky personality.
Sadly as we know, Mozart died young before he was able to create even more incredible music that would live long after he passed away. Overall this book does a great job of showing us Mozart’s life in its fullest, including 75 unique color illustrations, making it one of my favorite books on Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart’s life.

W.A. Mozart originally hit the scene in 1919 and blew music lovers and scholars out of the water. Abert’s in-depth research, analysis, and insight into the genius composer’s work and life were groundbreaking. However, over the last hundred years, the work of countless scholars gave us deep insights and new findings into Mozart’s inner world and life. That’s where Cliff Eisen, one of the formative Mozart scholars of our time, comes in.
