Mozart in Prague
Mozart in Prague explores the city that embraced Mozart as Vienna often did not. In musically literate Prague, he found true recognition—celebrated like a rock star at the 1787 premiere of the “Prague” Symphony. After his 1791 death, Prague honored him with a massive funeral that halted civic life, and its citizens helped support his penniless widow and children. Blending cultural history and vivid characters—including Marie Antoinette and Giacomo Casanova—the book reveals Mozart’s unique bond with this beautiful, cultured city.
