As a Music undergraduate student, this particular book had interest on lots of different levels for me. Of course I've been told lots about Mozart's music, and bits and pieces about his life, but these letters really give an insight into who Mozart was, his personality, and his priorities. We have a tendency to imagine composers as highly mature, intelligent people who spend their lives sitting at a piano and dedicating their lives to producing as high a quality of art as they possibly can, but at least in Mozart's case that couldn't be further from the truth! It was truly entertaining, reading about the antics of a 21-year-old on his first big trip away from home, and very moving towards the end, as he recalls the death of his mother. I would recommend this to anyone who has the slightest interest in classical music, as it humanises one of its most famous pioneers.
