BUYER BEWARE....For Musicians ONLY!By tom h.If you are like me and have seen and enjoyed the Mozart operas and own a few CDs of his music; but cannot read music then this book is not for you. If you want to know more about Mozart the man; look elswhere as Rushton skips over details the layman might wish to know more about only to get to analyses. I wouldnt know if it is in depth or not.The biographical information the author does relay is informative; though bland and colorless.I wouldnt recommend this book to any but aspiring or professional classical musicians as they would be able to glean much more information from it than I; but even then; I would cite this book as an example of what is wrong with classical music and its fandom today. It completely strips ALL emotion from one of the most emotional composers who ever lived and tries to reduce him and his music to technicalities and forgets why the reader or listener chooses W.A. Mozart over his contemporaries in the first place. In short the book has no heart.
