A wonderful guide to the music and life of Mozart. I have been using this book for almost 3 decades.

Outdated but still good…

got about halfway but realised there was no point as i’ll inevitably read more detailed stuff about all of this (?)

More information about Mozart than one can shake a stick at. Only for intermediate readers, as it can be a bit dry. It took awhile to read this book, lest Mozart starts running out of my ear. Still, I can imagine cracking this book for certain details.

A standard work in Mozartology. Landon is one of the best and well known Mozart-scholars of all time and his book offers a near complete picture of the composer. Verry detailed and well written. Should be on the shelve of every Mozart-lover.

Indispensable for the Mozart fanatic (that would be me).
