What was Mozart really like? Wild? Sublime? Responsible? Fun-loving? Bright? Foul-mouthed? Reading these sparkling new translations of Mozart's letters, we learn in his own words that he was all of these and much more. Here is the composer at his most intimate and unguarded, expressing his feelings about life, love, music and the world around him.

Beginning with two Grimm fairy tales, it proceeds through stories by Peter Bischsel, plays by Brecht, a Horspiel by Durrenmatt, fables and parables by Kafka, and poems by Goethe, Eichendorff, Heine, Hesse, Brecht, and Wolf Biermann to present engaging readings that are accessible to first- and second-year students. All texts are unabridged and unrevised, fully glossed, and accompanied by discussion questions as well as exercises that lead students from reading comprehension to active mastery of the vocabulary and grammar they have met in the selections."
