Sacred and Profane: A Brilliant Novel of Mozart

With deep insight, great sensitivity, and all the powers of compulsive story-telling, David Weiss has brilliantly recaptured the personality of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, and the sounds and sights of the world within which he moved.
Mozart's nettly relationship with his father, the intrigues of rival musicians, the pomp and glory that went towards the make-up of royal and aristocratic courts in Europe at that time, the vignettes of other great personages of the time, such as Haydn, Beethoven, Louis XV. of France and George III of England - all these are here.
Thirty-five when he died, tragically young, Mozart left behind him a body of musical work that has given pleasure to every successive generation. Never before has there been a book which so vividly portrays the essential tragedy of his life and the frustrating and heartbreaking struggles of his day to day life.
