Letters of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart e-bog

Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. A full and authentic edition of Mozart's Letters ought to require no special apology; for, though their essential substance has already been made known by quotations from biographies by Nissen, J ahn, and myself, taken from the originals, still in these three works the letters are necessarily not only very imperfectly given, but in some parts so fragmentary, that the peculiar charm of this cor respondence namely, the familiar and confidential mood in which it was written at the time - is eu tirely destroyed. It was only possible to'restore, and to enable others to enjoy this charm - a charm so novel, even to those already conversant with Mozart's life, that the most familiar incidents ao quire, fresh zest from it - by an ungarbled edition of these letters. This is what I now offer, feeling convinced that it will be welcome not only to the mass of Mozart's admirers, but also to professional musicians for in them alone is strikingly set forth how Mozart lived and labored, enjoyed and suffered.
