Publishers Description: Child prodigy, genius, freak, a man who lived frivolously and died a pauper... The myths surrounding Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, composer of some of the worlds most sublime music, have long ago overtaken the known facts of his life. It seems that Mozart the man has been forgotten, leaving only the legends and his astonishing musical legacy. Now, in this charming and very personal tribute, artist Donovan Bixley offers a portrait of Mozart that will change forever the way he is viewed. Share in his triumphs and his despair, his laughter and his tears, as Mozart and his world are brought to vivid life in nearly one hundred original drawings and paintings, over fifty of them in full colour. The accompanying text is based on the many letters Mozart wrote during his life, beginning with the delightful, if misspelt, letters he wrote as a thirteen year- old boy travelling in Italy with his father. A CD features excerpts from some of Mozarts most acclaimed works, many of which are referred to in the text. Reflecting the irrepressible spirit of its subject, while at the same time illustrating the colourful,often turbulent times in which he lived, Faithfully Mozart celebrates the humanity that lies behind one of the best-loved composers of all time.
