About this audiobook
In his timeless biography-written long before the significance of Mozart's work was fully realized-author Edward Holmes reveals the musician's character and genius, his struggles, his influence on art, and the brilliant reputation that surrounded him. Published in 1845 as the first authentic narrative of the life of Mozart to appear in English, it was also the first biography after the composer's death in 1791 to be based upon his letters. Holmes's exploration of Mozart's work comes from the perspective of a cultured mind of the era.

- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5I'm conceding defeat here. I hearby add this book to the handful of books I've given up on in my life.
To be fair, this is an audio book and the problem may be with the narrator - very nasally British voice - sounds almost like a caricature of a British butler.
The story of Mozart's life IS fascinating - but the numerous - and oven dull - details became too much to bear after 5 hours of listening.1 person found this helpful
