Mozart in Paris

3.10 (39 ratings by Goodreads)

English

By (author): Frantz Duchazeau

In 1778, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart leaves Salzburg for Paris. The French capital promises to liberate the 22-year-old from the suffocating grip of his father, and from a city that is unable to accommodate his genius.

But there is no grand entrance for the former child prodigy. When Mozart arrives in Paris, he is cash-strapped, unknown and his French is poor. His mentor, the critic Baron von Grimm, introduces him to a number of Parisian nobles. But recognition is hard-won, and at times the French court appears indifferent to Mozart's talents and disapproving of his spontaneity.

Tracing the composers six-month stay in the city of lights, Mozart in Paris dramatizes the confrontation between a sparkle-eyed genius and mundane reality. Frantz Duchazeau spotlights a frustrating yet formative period of the composers life and in doing so creates a living, breathing portrait of a man whose music, as Einstein famously said, was so pure that it seemed to have been ever-present in the universe, waiting to be discovered by the master.
