Review:
''Mozart: The Real Amadeus by Michel Parouty is a beautifully illustrated and concise biography that offers a fresh perspective on one of history's greatest musical geniuses. Mozart lived just 35 years, yet during that time he composed music that continues to enrich the lives of millions. An infant prodigy, he wrote his first minuet at age six and his first opera at eleven. He died in December 1791 with his Requiem still unfinished. Popular myth portrayed him as a simple-minded youth with a miraculous gift, but the truth is far more complex and fascinating. Parouty's book, part of the Thames & Hudson New Horizons series, is richly illustrated with images and photographs that bring Mozart's world to life. Perfect for readers of all ages, this accessible and engaging book provides an excellent introduction to the life and music of Mozart. Essential reading for music lovers, history enthusiasts, and anyone curious about the real Amadeus.''
