Musical Correspondents
With Donald Macleod.
Leopold Mozart was a competent musician but not a high-flyer. He recognised in his son the spark of genius that he himself lacked and was determined that Wolfgang Amadeus would reach his full artistic and earning potential. The correspondence between father and son reveals the tensions that dominated their relationship as Mozart came of age and began to break away from his father's influence, Including excerpts from:
