Summary "Life of Mozart, Vol. 3 (of 3)" by Otto Jahn is a historical account written in the late 19th century. This work delves into the life and compositions of the renowned composer Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, with particular focus on his instrumental music and operatic contributions. It aims to provide insights into Mozart's artistic development, musical style, and the historical context in which he created his masterpieces. The opening of the volume introduces the reader to the evolution of Mozart's instrumental music, particularly his engagement with string quartets and other forms of chamber music. It discusses how the popularity of the quartet format, influenced by Joseph Haydn, led Mozart to compose several significant works which highlighted his strengths as a composer. The text outlines the complexities of his creations, the reception of his works by contemporaries, and the contrasting styles of Mozart and Haydn, setting a rich backdrop for a deeper exploration of Mozart's genius in the succeeding chapters.
