The Real Mozart
1,049 words, approx. 4 pages
The exaggerated depiction of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart as a childish, hyena-cackling idiot in the movie "Amadeus" delivers injustice to him and to his music. A study of Mozart's letters reveal somewhat different angles of Mozart at different moments in his life -- at times humorous, warm, enthusiastic, kind, and understanding; at other times grieving, sad, and bittter. And while Mozart was submerged in sorrow, this was never truly seen except in his music.
