As a fan of his music this book by Peter Gay Mozart (A Penguin Life) has proved to be of a surprise. Gay is able to account for more personal writings of both Wolfgang and his father than other books regarding Mozart that I have read.
It was not until I was almost half way through before everything began to get interesting in new documented relationships Mozart established with so many while traveling Europe and how frugal nobles were to both his sister and him while their father was establishing his own private audiences with royals.
This was also more of an acknowledgement of Solomon’s book and even the most recent writings and hit movie. The previously unknown story of how he withheld the death of his mother who was traveling with him showed new sources that have not been known to me previously. In the end Gay’s book will bolster the knowledge and lifestyle of Mozart and his family lead for any fan.
Well after seeing this when I awoke this morning at 5:30am…
It was time to clear the driveway and start packing for my trip to Chicago Sunday for the Fall Internet2 conference. MIAD was closed — no surprise — due to this rare blizzard warning. A warning that over air radio was advising not to leave your homes.
This gave me time to complete reading Mozart (A Penguin Life) by Peter Gay and shovel the drive (again) at noon. Blowing and drifting snow was forcing me to shake trees and bushes around the house that were bending due to the heavy snow. Luckily no broken branches.
