Publishers Description: Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart was buried in an unknown grave. Yet in his lifetime he had known the adulation which only a musical genius of his stature could attract. The supreme prodigy of musical history, he actually started to play the clavier when he was three, and was composing by the time he was five. Until his untimely and lonely death in 1791 -- he was then thirty-five -- he was inspired to write some of the loveliest music ever written: symphonies, concertos, quartets, operas, masses -- all came easily from his pen. Many books have sung his praise.
