    About this ebook

    In Mozart 101, this book attempted to collate over one hundred interesting details about Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (to use his short name), for amusement and also to inspire. This is not an academic research document but where possible credited sources and linked to pages that may further your own study of this great composer. 

    If nothing else is evident in these 101 facts, it is the complex nature of Mozart that has so often been misrepresented in films, plays and commentaries. What is also very clear is that during the course of his intense life he created hundreds of pieces that are adored and loved by countless numbers of people across the world. Long may that continue.

      Introduction

      In Mozart 101 I have attempted to collate over one hundred interesting details about Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (to use his short name), for amusement and also to inspire. This is not an academic research document but where possible I have credited my sources and linked to pages that I feel may further your own study of this great composer.

      If nothing else is evident in these 101 facts it is the complex nature of Mozart that has so often been misrepresented in films, plays and commentaries. What is also very clear is that during the course of his intense life he created hundreds of pieces that are adored and loved by countless numbers of people across the world. Long may that continue.
