Condition remarks:

A richly detailed biography, The Life and Death of Mozart by Michael Levey chronicles the extraordinary arc of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart's life, from his astonishing emergence as a child prodigy in 18th-century Salzburg to his mysterious and premature death at just 35. Levey, a distinguished art historian and critic, brings a rare aesthetic sensibility to the subject, illuminating Mozart's creative genius against the backdrop of the social and cultural world of the Enlightenment. With scholarly authority and elegant prose, the book presents an intimate portrait of the man behind the music — his triumphs, his frustrations, his turbulent relationships, and his ceaseless artistic ambition. Rather than a purely musicological study, it argues for an understanding of Mozart as a fully human figure, shaped by his times and yet transcending them in ways that continue to resonate profoundly.
