露西·沃斯利之莫扎特的伦敦之旅

Lucy Worsley traces the forgotten and fascinating story of the young Mozart&#39s adventures in Georgian London. Arriving in 1764 as an eight-year-old boy, London held the promise of unrivalled musical opportunity. But in telling the telling the tale of Mozart&#39s strange and unexpected encounters, Lucy reveals how life wasn&#39t easy for the little boy in a big bustling city. With the demands of a royal performance, the humiliation of playing keyboard tricks in a London pub, a near fatal illness and finding himself heckled on the strts, it was a lot for a child to take. But London would prove pivotal, for it was here that the young Mozart made his musical breakthrough, blossoming from a precocious performer into a powerful new composer. Lucy reveals that it was on British soil that Mozart composed his first ever symphony and, with the help of a bespoke performance, she explores how Mozart&#39s experiences in London inspired his colossal achievement. But what should have earned him rapturous applause and the highest alaim ended in suspicion, intrigue and ausations of fraud.
