Reviews
'Simon P. Keefe is one of our greatest experts on Mozart's life and on his music. In Keefe's new book he weaves the two together into an extended narrative showing the many connections between the two. His graceful prose makes this admirable book accessible to anyone - whether beginner, experienced amateur, or professional - who is interested in gaining a fuller understanding of Mozart the man and the conditions under which he produced his extraordinary music.' Neal Zaslaw, Cornell University, New York 'An authoritative, richly annotated volume by a leading Mozart scholar that offers a comprehensive survey of the composer's life and music in the last ten years of his life. The integration of these two aspects is a signal achievement: a life in music, rather than a life alongside the music. The volume will be an accessible point of reference for years to come.'

David Wyn Jones, Cardiff University 'Simon P Keefe's mammoth study of Mozart's creative achievements during the last ten years of his life is an engrossing read ... The book has impeccable scholarly credentials, boasting a huge number of footnotes and a generous selection of printed music examples, yet its written style is lively and accessible with Keefe's abundant enthusiasm for Mozart shining through every page.' Erik Levi, BBC Music Magazine '... Mozart in Vienna is a handsome addition to Keefe's output as well as to the rich Mozartian literature, representing a welcome, if undeniably challenging, new look at some of the finest music ever created.' David Threasher, Gramophone 'Mozart in Vienna will take you intimately close to the internal workings of Mozart's creative genius.' Larry Wolff, The New York Review of Books 'Simon P.
