«Vida de Mozart» is the biography of composer Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart written by Stendhal, published by Alba Editorial in paperback (134 pages, in Spanish).
In this brief biography, Stendhal offers one of the first Romantic portraits of Mozart: a brilliant and passionate artist, yet oblivious to practical matters. The text comes from «Cartas sobre Haydn, Mozart y Metastasio» (1815), Stendhal's first book, and presents the musician as a figure of imagination free from convention, whose image would influence posterity.
The edition is the third title in the Clásica Biografías collection, translated by Consuelo Berges; Alba Editorial originally published it in July 2000.
For readers interested in biographies of composers and in biographical literature of Romanticism.
Marie-Henri Beyle, better known by his pen name Stendhal, was a French writer. Best known for the novels Le Rouge et le Noir and La Chartreuse de Parme, he is highly regarded for the acute analysis of his characters' psychology and considered one of the early and foremost practitioners of realism. A self-proclaimed egotist, the neologism for the same characteristic in his characters was "Beylism".
