By Isabel Otero Bowen

This collection of 30 selected works and illustrated biography is appropriate for presenting students to their first works by Mozart. The compositions were selected based on their pedagogical value, compiled mainly from two of Mozart's early collections: Nannerls's Music Book and the London Sketchbook, in addition to several later works. A "Guide to Playing Mozart" has been included at the end of the book. Here a comprehensive yet straightforward explanation has been given to all stylistic and performance questions, such as dynamics, tempo, and ornamentation.
