A review by woolfardis
My Dearest Father by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart

2.0

"My son, to find one man in 1000 who is your true friend for reasons other than self-interest is one of the greatest wonders of this world."

This Little Black Classic is made up of a collection of letters between the German composer Mozart and his father, Leopold. They are humorous and shattering at the same time, but mostly I found them to be a little dull, though I think the dullness adds to the reality of it all. A lovely insight in to the life of a young man and his career and family, but not something that really piques my interest.

Except all the French bashing, of course.

"Kappellmeister Bach will be here soon - I think he'll be writing an opera - the French are asses and will always remain so, they can do nothing themselves."
