As a cultural exchange representative of the Austrian government, Kaiser has compiled letters written by and to Mozart (1756-1791) that offer insights into the musical genius's personality, working style, and challenges. The book includes biographical sketches of family members, a chronology of Mozart's private life, and a glossary of people in his life (including Beethoven and European royalty). The translator teaches German at the U. of Wyoming. (Annotation ©2008 Book News Inc. Portland, OR)
