Excellent book on the true Mozart. I am now so enthralled with his story, I'm dreaming of a trip to Germany to see the places for myself. And I'm definitely going to find the nearest production of "Don Giovanni", "The Marriage of Figaro" and "The Magic Flute". So much more accurate than the movie "Amadeus". (Where did they get that pack of lies?!)

Rich in period detail it re-creates the man and his music against the backdrop of the world he lived in
