		WW Norton 2006 644 pages		Qty
		Hardback 0393061124
		Published Price £22.00		Our Price £7.99
	The last work of the renowned musicologist Stanley Sadie (1930-2005), this first part of a large-scale study of Mozart's life and work is, in Sadie's words, 'as near to comprehensive as such a book can reasonably be'. Drawing on a mass of source material, including the autograph manuscripts and family letters, Sadie traces the composer's life from his birth in Salzburg to the opening of Idomeneo in Munich in 1781, and he discusses every musical work in terms both of biographical context and of the music itself.
