Mozart in Vienna: The Final DecadeCambridge University Press, 21.09.2017 - 689 Seiten Mozart's greatest works were written in Vienna in the decade before his death (1781-1791).

It traces consistencies and changes in Mozart's professional persona and his modus operandi and sheds light on other prominent musicians, audience expectations, publishing, and concert and dramatic practices and traditions. Giving particular prominence to primary sources, Simon P.
