On Mozart

From the eighteenth century to our own, Mozart has remained one of the World's most inventive and popular composers. The essays in this collection examine Mozart and his art from psychological, historical, cultural, and aesthetic perspectives. They set Mozart, first, in the timeless ahistorical space reserved for individuals of spectacular creativity, then in his time, and finally in our time. Most of the authors are not professional Mozart scholars or musicologists, but all are Mozart Lovers.
