New Mozart Documents

O.Deutsch's documentary biography of Mozart, first published in German in 1961 and translated into English in 1965, presented all the contemporary documentation on Mozart then known to scholars. During three decades of research more documents have come to light, and the author himself has subsequently augmented their number with a methodical search through contemporary research material including newspapers, diaries, memoirs, books and many others sorces. This book presents all the material discovered since 1965 and gives full descriptions and documentation. It is organized on a principle slightly different from Deutsch's in that the documents dealing with the reception of Mozart's life and activities are presented first and those on the reception of his music are printed in a separate section. "Mozart Documents" should be of interest to anyone concerned with the basic information on Mozart's life, his activities and the reception of his music.
