Mozart was fascinated; amused; aroused; hurt; and betrayed by women. He loved and respected them; composed for them; performed with them. This unique biography looks at his interaction with each; starting with his family (his mother; Maria Anna and beloved and talented sister; Nannerl); and his marriage (which brought his other family; the Weber sisters). His relationships with his artists are examined; in particular those of his operas; through whose characters Mozart gave voice to the emotions of women who were; like his entire female acquaintance; restrained by the conventions and structures of eighteenth-century society. This is their story as well as his -- and shows once again that a great part of the composerrsquo;s genius was in his understanding and musical expression of human nature. Evocative and beautifully written; Mozartrsquo;s Women illuminates the music; the man; and above all the women who inspired him. Jane Glover has pulled off a coup des livres with her fresh take on Mozarts life and workrsquo; Sunday Telegraph lsquo;Readable; informative and movinghellip;Her passion for the music shines through this touching; vividly told story Sunday Times
