Review title: Excellent survey of Mozart's life and works.
Product review: This is not a work of original research into primary sources or a close technical analysis of Mozart's compositional technique. What it is, and is an ideal example of, is a synopsis of where Mozart scholarship stands today with respect to his life and music, and a survey of his major works with brief discographies. It can serve as an excellent introduction to Mozart for newcomers but is also of interest to Mozart aficionados who listen to his music, play some of it, and have read a few biographies. Thus I learned that the Köchel numbering system we have lived with for so long is being updated, though the new system is not yet in general use. Most of all, and not typical of survey books, this book is well-written and enjoyable to read. Highly recommended.
