Genius

Meet composer Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart and learn about his life and music in this engagingly illustrated biography.
 
Wolfgang Amadeus rose to fame as a child genius who wrote his first piece at the age of five, spent a lifetime making music for archbishops and emperors, and created countless compositions until his untimely death at only 35 years old. This engaging biography explores his amazing career, from when Mozart began his musical studies under his father’s tutelage; through his time as a court composer, musician, and concertmaster; to his final work in honor of the coronation of Leopold II as King of Bohemia. Along the way, we find out about Mozart’s travels and the great composers he met, his difficulties with his rich benefactors, his financial struggles, his marriage and family, and his final illness.
Appealing illustrations, information on his breakthroughs and successes, and an index of major events reveal how Mozart left his mark on humanity. A timeline and simple quiz help kids test their understanding and knowledge.

“La vie est courte. C’est pourquoi il faut mettre à profit chaque jour.”

kitaptan yaptığım alıntının çevirisini bırakmak istiyorum: Hayat kısa. İşte bu yüzden her günün tadını çıkarın.

Beş yaşında başladığı, ölümüne kadar 30 yıl boyunca soluksuz devam eden kariyeri ve yaşamıyla Mozart... yazdığı operaları merak ediyorum :))

Δεν τρελάθηκα. Κατ' αρχάς ήταν σε α πρόσωπο και είχε την ατάκα: πέθανα τότε. Ε, όχι. Επίσης, ήταν λίγο ξερές οι πληροφορίες.
