From an early age, Wolfgang Mozart's unique imagination was evident in every aspect of his life. He detested boredom and idleness, responding with a mix of mental and physical activities. Whether in his outrageous humor or not, Mozart was always entertaining. He approached life, especially his social interactions, with immense enthusiasm, forming a diverse circle of friends and patrons who fed his insatiable appetite for music and enjoyment. Known as an inexplicable force of nature, he could seamlessly transition from a brilliant improvisation at the piano to leaping over furniture. Always drumming, tapping, and chatting, he possessed a profound ability to connect, often revealing a deeper, melancholic side through his searching blue eyes. Even in company, there was a sense that he was not entirely present, as if he lived both onstage and off, observing life’s tragicomedy while gathering inspiration for his art. This biography offers a thorough exploration of a genius whose influence on classical music is immeasurable, revealing that understanding the origins and evolution of classical music, as well as the Baroque period, is impossible without examining Mozart himself.
