Mozart Audiobook

" The subject matter was interesting, but I did not like the fact that the information was not presented in chronological order. I felt that at certain points the writing was a bit too dense for the subject matter. "

" A nice, simple and short introduction to Mozart! "

" A briskly written, sympathetic portrait of one of the greatest geniuses ever to grace the human race. This book sparkles like one of Mozart's early piano concertos, and was a joy from start to finish. "

" Reveals so much about Mozart and his era. I thought I knew everything about Mozart's talent and tragedy until I read this book. It reads like a thriller, very different from most of Mozart's biographies. "

" think this is the one i read. not sure though. it's been a while. =0 "

" This was a pretty good, quick bio of Mozart. It definitely didn't glorify him. Beyond his musical genius he was portrayed as a pretty normal guy--irresponsible with money, a bit of a philanderer and amused (perhaps more than the normal guy) with body humor. "

" This book serves as an excellent primer for someone in need of an overview of Mozart's life. I would recommend this book for a music layperson or someone who wants a quick outline before more intensive study. "

" I wasn't crazy about the order of the dates he put the events, but Gay got the point across. I wanted to learn a little bit about Mozart and this book was great for that. It covered the surface and main points of his life. "

" Interesting book and just shows how the movie about Mozart got it so wrong! "

" Pretty good book about the life of Mozart. He was an amazingly gifted composer. More than anything else I found the description of life and social classes interesting. "

" A fun introduction to his life--and now I want to listen to all the pieces highlighted within. Where to note that? How many lists can a person have going of things to read, listen to, watch, experience, visit at some future date? "

" Nice quick account of his life, relationships, and how and when his music was composed. As expected, he was an interesting figure with quite a few surprises. "

" Interestingly factual. if your interested in mozart's life this is a good book to read. "

" aku membaca buku ini karena terpaksa (kerjaan). Aku tidak terlalu peduli pada mozart. aku diburu deadline, jadi cuma membaca sepintas lalu. Gabungan semua itu membuatku tidak menikmati buku ini dan sudah lupa isinya apa ... "

" I really liked the way this book was structured, with a different chapter for each facet of Mozart's life (for example: childhood, personal, operas, Requiem.) "

" Okay. I didn't really like the thematic dividing of chapters rather than the tale of his life being told chronologically. "

" A good short biography, perhaps a little light on the more colorful aspects of Mozart's character, but useful for situating him firmly in the grasping bourgeois part of the court life of late ancien regime Europe. Not wonderful, alas, on just what it is that make's Mozart music so sublime. "

" Pretty good book on Mozart. More interesting than I expected it to be. "

" This is one book that made me wish that I knew more about music just so that I could understand a lot of it. While a good account of Mozart's life, I wish that it had had some explanation (a glossary or something in the text) to explain what the musical terms meant. "

" Decent overview of ol' Wolfies life. "
