| | 2. |  | Classical Style
from Faber and Faber
Customer Review:
This is an important and in many ways excellent book by Charles Rosen, who has also written other fine books. Rosen explains how the 18th-century sonata form was a logical extension and elaboration of what had come before and of what was inherent in traditional tonality. He shows that Romanticism... more info

from Chronicle Books
Customer Review:
When I tell people I'm reading a graphic novel adaptation of a Mozart opera, they tend to think I'm nuts. However, this was a really cool book. I was unfamiliar with the opera upon which this book was based when I started reading it, but the story is a wonderful work of fantasy with fun characters... more info

| | 5. |  | W.A. Mozart
from Yale University Press
Price: $34.65
Customer Review:
I am someone who considers Mozart to be our "greatest" composer, in fact probably a person surpassed by no other person in creative achievement and whose work comes closest to achieving perfection at the level that nature herself does. Across all the arts. So I was astonished when I learned of the... more info

Customer Review:
Peter Gay's book on Mozart is truly utilitarian, just a short book with all the facts and a few minor clarifications on the folklore surrounding Mozart. The author follows his subject chronologically, with a special emphasis on the familial relationships and Mozart's unusual correspondence.

| | 10. |  | Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart: A Biography
from University Of Chicago Press
Price: $22.80
Customer Review:
One of the best books written about Mozart. If it's your first biography, you couldn't choose a better one, because it flows naturally, dispenses with all the standard romantic cliches and gives new insights. If you've read fifty books on Mozart (which I have), it is essential for the same reasons.... more info
