About This Item
New York, New York, U.S.A.: Ticknor & Fields, 1991. First Printing . Hard Back. Near Fine/As New. 5 1/2" X 9. 160 Pages. Attractive gray boards with black cloth quarter-spine and gold lettering. Rose endpapers. No defects noted beyond pencil prices on first title page. Faultless interior. In this homage to Mozart on the occasion of the bicentennial of his death, the inimitable Anthony Burgess pays tribute to the composer who has meant so much to him both personally and professionally. A published composer in his own right, Burgess has made a career of teaching us to expect the unexpected. Here he offers a divertimento as sparkling and brilliant as one by Mozart himself, a Burgessian confection that is part libretto, part film script, part celestial onversation, and part rumination on the mastery and mystery of music. With his wit, elegance, and apparently effortless brilliance, Anthony Burgess is not only the perfect author for this astounding and thought-provoking homage, he is the only possible one. It is a celebration in the fullest sense of the word: a magnificent tribute from a master of the twentieth century to one of the supreme masters of all time.
