A review by rvandenboomgaard
My Dearest Father by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart

5.0

Good to know that even Mozart was in the occasional financial trouble, and got heartfelt shit for it from his concerned father.

Also interesting to see that he was sassy to the degree that he wouldn’t do under for (how I imagine, as I’ve never watched a single second of those shows) any member of the cast of ‘Gossip Girl’ or ‘Sex and the City’ to be. This man can be vile.

On a more contrasting note, it is heartbreaking to read the report to his father and sister of the death of Mozart’s mother while travelling together. Due to the nature of letters, the addressees would not receive the letters before days after they were sent. This creates for an intriguing dynamic in matters of such grave emotionality, and especially in the decisions made in the timing of conveyance.
