Mozarts Letters

"Mozarts honesty, his awareness of his own genius and his contempt for authority all shine out from these letters."--<em>Sunday Times</em> (London). " In <em>Mozarts Letters, Mozarts Life</em>, Robert Spaethling presents "Mozart in all the rawness of his driving energies" (<em>Spectator</em>), preserved in the "zany, often angry effervescence" of his writing (<em>Observer</em>). Where other translators have ignored Mozarts atrocious spelling and tempered his foul language, "Robert Spaethlings new translations are lively and racy, and do justice to Mozarts restlessly inventive mind" (<em>Daily Mail</em>). Carefully selected and meticulously annotated, this collection of letters "should be on the shelves of every music lover" (<em>BBC Music Magazine</em>).
