Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart was probably the most gifted musician who has ever lived, having a musical talent that can only be dreamed of. He was not only a great classical composer, but also a great pianist who astonished the audiences of his time with his skills. Unlike some composers, Mozart had little interest in developing new types of music, but just wanted to write as close to perfection as possible. Many people would argue that he achieved perfection. But in spite of his astonishing gifts, Mozart was just a human being like the rest of us. He could be arrogant and rude and was not a particularly attractive man. But he wrote music unlike anything that had been heard before and it is still admired today, over 200 years since he died. Andrew Gibbs gives you a comprehensive list of facts about Mozart, explaining the important accomplishments and events in his life. Reading a complete biography can be daunting for a youngster, but Gibbs presents Mozart's life in 59 easy to understand segments. We hope that the facts about Mozart in our book will fascinate you and motivate you to discover even more about this famous composer and his remarkable music.

"Remember, what's down inside you, all covered up—the things of your soul. The important, secret things . . . The story of you, all buried, let the music caress it out into the open." When Allegra was a little girl, she thought she would pick up her violin and it would sing for her—that the music was hidden inside her instrument. Now that Allegra is twelve, she believes the music is in her fingers, and the summer after seventh grade she has to teach them well. She's the youngest contestant in the Ernest Bloch Young Musicians' Competition. She knows she will learn the notes to the concerto, but what she doesn't realize is she'll also learn how to close the gap between herself and Mozart to find the real music inside her heart. The Mozart Season includes an interview with author Virginia Euwer Wolff.

As a little boy, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart began writing musical compositions when most kids his age were still learning to read. By the time he was seven, Mozart was an accomplished musician who could play several instruments and also sing. Accompanied by his older sister, Nannerl, and his father, Leopold, young Wolfgang toured Europe. He performed before royalty and some of the richest members of society. By the time he was twelve, Wolfgang was famous. He first tasted failure as a teenager, as audiences ignored his operas, and he had trouble making money. He began to be known for his bad jokes and relentless pursuit of women. He eventually married the sister of the woman who broke his heart. In adulthood, Mozart s problems grew. He couldn't keep a job. He was usually broke. One of the greatest composers the world had ever known was forced to make a living giving piano lessons. Yet today, he is one of the most celebrated and respected composers of all time.?
