Chopin in Paris: The Life & Times of the Romantic Composer
by Tad Szulc, Chopin
An award-winning writer draws on rare correspondence and private journals to write the first definitive English-language biography of Chopin--the brilliant composer who spent two decades in Paris pioneering the Romantic Era along with the greatest creative geniuses of the day. 16 pp. of photos. 448 pp. Print ads. 25,000 print.
Child prodigy, creative genius, tortured soul--Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart was all of these, and considered by many to be the greatest composer of all time. This biography seeks to learn what made him tick. Solomon brings new psychological insight to the life and music of Mozart, from his birth in 1756, to his premature death in 1791. At a tender age, because of his very talents, Mozart became his family's provider. Beset with what the author calls "the myth of the eternal child," he was continually torn between his family and his own quest for freedom. This book explores issues crucial to understanding the man and his music, while it follows his extraordinary, prolific life: his flight from Salzburg to the capitals of Europe where he was honored by royal families and adoring fans, his emergence as a young composer and Salzburg's "favorite son," his conquest of Vienna, his marriage, his deepening melancholia, and his final triumphs. B&W illus. 640pp.
