Mysterious Mozart
PHILIPPE SOLLERS
Translated by Armine Kotin Mortimer
As Le Figaro noted in its review of this book, Mozart is
everywhere: concert halls, film scores, department stores,
and elevators. In Mysterious Mozart Philippe Sollers
investigates why Mozart’s music has been so widely ap-
propriated, why public perceptions of Mozart emphasize
his lightness, and why Mozart himself has been treated as
a child prodigy who never quite grew up.
