520 "A biography of Mozart--his music, his life, and his
legacy--by the poet Patrick Mackie"--|cProvided by
publisher.
520 "Mozart is one of the most familiar and beloved icons of
our culture, but how much do we really understand of his
music, and what can it reveal to us about the great
composer? Following Mozart from his youth in Salzburg to
his early death; from his close and rivalrous relationship
with his father to his romantic attachments; from his
hugely successful operas to intimate compositions on the
keyboard, Patrick Mackie leads the reader through the
major and lesser-known moments of the composer's life and
brings alive the teeming, swiveling modernity of
eighteenth-century Europe. In this era of rococo painting,
surrealist aesthetics, and political turbulence, Mozart
reckoned with a searing talent that threatened to
overwhelm him, all the while pushing himself to
extraordinary feats of musicianship. In Mozart in Motion,
we are returned to the volatility of the eighteenth
century and hear Mozart's music in all its audacious
vividness, gaining fresh perspectives on why his works
still move us so intensely today, as we continue to search
for a modernity he imagined into being" --|cProvided by
