pp 160, “Burgess, the acclaimed author of such works as A Clockwork Orange ( LJ 2/15/63), puts his considerable writing talents to work conjuring up vivid images in prose and poetry, all revolving around his esteem for Mozart. The book begins with a celestial conversation about Mozart’s music involving Ludwig van Beethoven, Felix Mendelssohn, Sergei Prokofiev, Sir Arthur Bliss, and Richard Wagner. It is followed by an opera libretto on Mozart’s life with intermission dialogs that include Antonio Rossini and Stendahl, Arnold Schoenberg and George Gershwin. A prose fantasy in the form of the great G-minor symphony, and a film script that places the author among the various historical characters complete this most unusual tribute to Mozart. A delightful–if off the wall–variation on this year’s most popular artistic theme.”
