Description: "This major work places Mozart's life and music in the context of the intellectual, political, and artistic currents of eighteenth-century Europe. Even as he delves into philosophic and aesthetic questions, Robert Gutman keeps in sight, clearly and firmly, the composer and his works. He discusses the major genres in which Mozart worked - chamber music; liturgical, theater, and keyboard compositions; concerto; symphony; opera; and oratorio.

All of these riches unfold within the framework of the composer's brief but remarkable life."--BOOK JACKET.
