Quite a sad insight into the life of a child prodigy xx
I have read quite a few books from Alexander Kennedy over recent weeks and months and i find his books to be very interesting and from a different perspective from any other books or stories which i have read.He is an excellent author who obviously carries out an extensive amount of research, the sheer effort put into each and every book is to be applauded. Due to his excellent writing skills i am finding myself more and more interested to read about icons from a personal life perspective rather than just knowing what they created, achieved or invented, Alexander Kennedy tells the story of how they struggled to achieve their fame or fortune, who helped or even who hindered them in their journey.With this book : Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart - Who everybody has heard of but before reading this knew nothing much more than he was a child prodigy and created amazing, totally world wide recognisable music. Reading this as it goes into the depth of his struggles as a child, his conflicts with so many, his loves and his utterly way too early death. I was glad to read that he influenced so many other artists but it is still such a shame that he died so young as he could have provided so much more.I have received this at a reduced cost or free in return for an honest review and I would be happy to point out any failures or flaws with any product I review as much as I will also highlight good point and versatility with products I have reviewed. I have completed my review with other buyers in mind and I hope that the information is of use to any prospective buyers.

I love this author, his books are all great reads and this is worth the price.
This is the second of this author’s books I’ve purchased this month and I have to say I really enjoy his writing style.He writes with intelligence, has plenty of interesting facts and details, and has clearly researched his topics. Yet at no point did I feel bored, bogged down with heavy prose or put to sleep with useless information.I prefer factual topics for reading, but it’s really hard to find a good book that is also a light read. These books are great for this. I was able to read a subject I enjoyed, put it down and pick up when I felt like it and not feel overwhelmed or too educational while reading.I don’t want to say too much about the actual book, as I hate spoilers, but to say that he makes Mozart both interesting and explains some of how he suffered for his music in a way that didn’t feel too emotional, just facts to let you see and decide for yourself.Being a kindle book I received it instantly, so I could start it straight away.The pricing changes depending if you want an actual copy, a kindle or if you are part of the kindle unlimited scheme, but even at the normal kindle price of £1.99 it’s still a great bargain.I think I’ll be collecting all his books, as these are a lovely read and I have found a new series for the summer.DISCLAIMER - I purchased this item at a reduced rate, to allow me to offer an honest, unbiased and hopefully useful review.

this ebook helped me rediscover my true love for music
I've played the Piano, Harp, Organ and Drums since the age of 4, and classical music has always been my main forte. After studying music during my primary and secondary school days, I then become an Engineer. After having learnt a lot about the history of music, this ebook helped me rediscover my true love for music. The ebook was very descriptive and informative regarding Mozart's life and describes how he dominated Classical music during the classical era. It was a wonderful book which I highly recommend to anyone who is interested about classical music and would like to learn more about composer's lives. It is a great way for music enthusiasts to understand the composer in order to understand the music which they play or listen to.I would like to add that I received this ebook for free in return for my honest and unbiased review. The fact that this product was free has not influenced my opinion in any way, and this is my true unbiased review.

great
the overall introduce to Mozart's entire life is concise and every story is not as much detailed as expected.However, this is the first biography I read about Mozart. My sincere respect and love to him has been developed after reading his story, not only because of his talents or great musics he composed, but his spirits once again confirmed my belief, genius as Mozart was, he still desperately work on practice and composition, just as he stated"no one has given so much care to the study of composition as I was."Although Mozart was an exception of my thoughts on great artists. His fame came before his death, which was not the most cases of great artists. Mozart, I would not say as a revolutionist in music history as the majority of his works are for the joy of nobilities or for pursuing his position in court. These motives were somewhat under the influence of his father. However, Leopold was as great as his talented son in the way of his sharp sniff on his son's intelligence as well as his "on-the- travel" education.We can always find the traces of how a great people has been shaped, but it is impossible to replicate a genius as fortune or destiny was uniquely engraved with one's birth.
