About the book

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart is one of the most famous Austrians of all time. 27th January 2006 marks the 250th anniversary of his birth, and celebrations and events will be taking place world-wide to honour his musical genius. We are proud to be publishing the Mozart Encyclopedia which gives comprehensive coverage of Mozart's life and works, and of the people, places and compositional contexts that directly affected him. No other single work in English on this genius composer covers as much about him as this encyclopedia does. An A-Z layout ensures easy searchability. Entries range from major works to small biographical details.

“All of the entries are written in clear, accessible prose and are well-organized, usually with multiple subheadings and capitalized cross references. [..] This first resource to cover both Mozart's life and oeuvre is a browser's delight....An indispensable addition to all collections.”
