The Majesty of Mozart
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (1756-1791) lived only a brief 35 years, yet during this time he was destined to experience great professional acclaim as well as deep personal loss. His story, life, and music have become legend, enriching the lives of countless generations. To many musical historians he has been presented as a simple-minded child possessed of a miraculous musical gift, but the truth is much more complicated and exciting. Come meet Mozart through excerpts of his personal letters and his music as we discover not only the ‘man behind the myth’, but also the genius who still brings musical joy to the world!
