Review Quotes




"Brilliant." - New York Times Book Review

"Maynard Solomon writes with the grace of a novelist, the insight of a philosopher, and the precision of a detective. We come to know Mozart personally, as a musical genius, but more than that, as a living, breathing, thinking person." - Yo-Yo Ma

"This biography is a compelling read, like a good novel. . . . Every facet of Mozart's life is here. . . . You may even weep, as I did, as you read this affecting account of his last days." - John Amis, The Times (London)

"Maynard Solomon, in his extraordinary new study, Mozart: A Life, has gone much further than any of his predecessors in humanizing his subject. . . . A far more realistic Mozart of flesh and blood, where musical mastery was not a gift of the gods but the life's work of a man." - Michael Walsh, Time magazine
