At 5 years old, he composed a minuet. By six, he was performing for royalty. The compelling story of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart is a timeless tale of musical genius, its rewards, and its pitfalls. Author and musician Marcus Weeks takes us around Mozart's world—from the Royal courts of 18th century Europe to the opera houses and balls where Mozart enjoyed triumph and fame. We meet the kings and queens of the age, learn of the young Mozart's favorite games, see the clothes he wore, and the new musical instruments of the time.

Beautifully illustrated, engaging, well written book on the life of Mozart and hislasting influence on the world of music. This was purchased (at .com) as agift for a young, aspiring student of music.
It gives a good image to those that do not know of Mozart. It gives you a good base to start reading, the best thing that it has many pictures, not too draggy, not to long or overcharged with details. Like I said in the title, a book for anyone.
My son enjoyed this book. He is currently taking piano lessons and hearing that Mozart was his age when he started composing inspired him try it himself.
copy of old national geographic and happy to get it about Mozart.
as expected
Perfect!
