Atharva: Amazing short biography of the legendary Western Classical Composer. At the age of five, he was able to play three instruments and even compose a music ! Within a short period of his life of 35 years, Mozart composed music which is still performed and enjoyed across world for more than 250 years.
A very informative narrative of Mozart's life. Who Was series is indeed very informative and inspirational.

MARILYN R. WILSON: Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart was a very gifted musician and composer and every young reader of this book will be enriched by the story of his life.
In his short lifespan of 35 years Mozart was a musical genius composing some 600 music scores, i.e., symphonies, and concertos. He is the preferred classical musician and composer of every serious classical music lover. The book is an excellent well-written life story of Mozart.

Candace K: I love this series! They are great, easy-to-read, fact based biographies that my children have grown up with. Sacagawea was our first book because of my daughter's obsession and from there we moved to other strong historical women, such as Helen Keller and Amelia Earhart. Then we would find subjects to correspond with whatever my kids were studying at school. Really, really recommend this series!!!

Willie: This was a happy accident. I had no previous knowledge of the "Who Was ...." series, and when I opened the book, much to my dismay, it was for children. I began to read, simply because I had invested the funds, and was more than pleasantly surprised at the effort (and the Kindle investment!). A very humanistic and sympathetic tale of the life of one of the giants of Music. I fully believe that if Mozart had lived to Bach's ripe age of 65, the course of music would have achieved stretching approaching atonality. The book is a fair and un-glossy story but told in a manner that children of all ages will find endearing. Coupled with a structured listening program, I think anyone would go away greatly impressed with this man's genius. A very quick read for an adult, but a very thoughtful one as well.
