A unique edition of a masterpiece in European literature. Described by George Steiner as "a
novella to set beside Thomas Mann's I or Tolstoy's Kreutzer Sonata." While on a journey with
his wife to Prague for the opening night of Don Giovanni Mozart is caught picking an orange on
the grounds of a stately home. But when the resident family find out who they are dealing with
they are delighted to be in the presence of the celebrated composer and invite him to their
daughter's wedding. Mörike's vivid and imaginative depiction of a day in the life of Mozart
captures both the humorous and the more fragile and pensive side of the Austrian genius.
