The French capital promises to liberate the 22-year-old from the suffocating grip of his father, and from a city that is unable to accommodate his genius. But there is no grand entrance for the former child prodigy. When Mozart arrives in Paris, he is cash-strapped, unknown and his French is poor. His mentor, the critic Baron von Grimm, introduces him to a number of Parisian nobles. But recognition is hard-won, and at times the French court appears indifferent to Mozart's talents and disapproving of his spontaneity.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTracing the composer's six-month stay in the city of lights, Mozart in Paris dramatizes the confrontation between a sparkle-eyed genius and mundane reality. Frantz Duchazeau spotlights a frustrating yet formative period of the composer's life - and in doing so creates a living, breathing portrait of a man whose music, as Einstein famously said, \"was so pure that it seemed to have been ever-present in the universe, waiting to be discovered by the master.\"","brand":"RANDOM HOUSE","offers":[{"title":"Default","offer_id":43045827051609,"sku":"PR915286","price":48.2,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2551\/5502\/files\/image_TIBHK4JFLGWU.jpg?v=1770354775","url":"https:\/\/smartfox.co.nz\/products\/mozart-in-paris","provider":"SmartfoxNZ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
