The Letters of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart — Volume 01
This first volume of Mozart's letters runs from 1770, when the fourteen-year-old prodigy was touring Italy with his father, to the production of Idomeneo in Munich in 1781. In between come the journeys to Mannheim and Paris in search of a post, his first love for the singer Aloysia Weber, the death of his mother in a Paris lodging and his increasingly impatient relations with the Archbishop of Salzburg. Mozart wrote to his father and sister with a mixture of gossip, musical shop talk, puns and schoolboy coarseness that no biography can reproduce. The letters are given in Lady Grace Wallace's translation of Ludwig Nohl's edition, first published in English in 1865. They are available to read online in your browser on Vinteuil, with the first part free.
