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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eHis mentor, the critic Baron von Grimm, introduces him to a number of Parisian nobles. However, recognition is hard-won, and at times the French court appears indifferent to Mozart's talents and disapproving of his spontaneity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eTracing the composer's six-month stay in the city of lights, \u003cem\u003eMozart in Paris\u003c\/em\u003e dramatizes the confrontation between a sparkle-eyed genius and mundane reality. Frantz Duchazeau spotlights this frustrating yet formative period of the composer's life, creating 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.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Thames and Hudson (Australia) Pty Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47426028175596,"sku":"9781910593721","price":35.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9781910593721.jpg?v=1774768027"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/collections\/frantz-duchazeau.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
