From genius to pauper, "The Treasures of Mozart" tracks the life and career of one of the music world's greatest composers. His works are consistently in the classical music charts, yet he died in poverty at the tragically early age of 35. In this succinct and lavishly illustrated book, the reader is introduced to Mozart's character, the stories behind his major works and the people who nurtured his career and influenced him. Ten removable facsimile documents, such as autographed score sheets, letters and official decrees allow the reader to experience aspects of Mozart's life as never before, providing an additional insight into the mind of this great artiste.
