by Enrst Alfred Ekker (Author), Ernst A Ekker (Author), Doris Eisenburger (Illustrator)
See all formats and editions
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart remains one of the most intriguing historical figures ever. By the time he died at the early age of 35, he had already left behind some of the most important music ever created.

Just in time for the 250th anniversary of his birth, this picture book for the whole family tells the tale of Mozart's life, from child prodigy to Imperial Royal Chamber Composer for Emperor Joseph the II to his work as one of the world's first freelance composers. Mozart's life and his music are virtually inseparable, since so many of his experiences and observations came out in his music.

Listen to the selection of Mozart's music on the enclosed CD as you read along, and you'll see how Mozart's life influenced his music--""and his music influenced his life.

Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal

Grade 3-6 Though this biography is presented in picture-book format, the prose style and depth of information are geared to an older audience. Ekker's offering is replete with details about Mozart's life and his growth from child prodigy to renowned composer. Factual material is interspersed with anecdotes describing a young musician's life at court in the 18th century. Through a somewhat fictionalized text, readers witness Mozart's temper and intolerance, arrogance, and competitive nature. Eisenburger's whimsical and colorful illustrations add a great deal to the book, presenting visual insight into the period in which Mozart lived and developed. An accompanying CD includes a wide range of his compositions. This is an attractive book, but Mike Venezia's Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (Children's Press, 1995) is a more accessible selection for early elementary youngsters. There is a conflict in the newer volume between presentation and text that makes it hard to pinpoint an appreciative audience. Renee Steinberg, formerly at Fieldstone Middle School, Montvale, NJ
