Facing hardship, enduring pain, losing all—such things are a bitter pill to swallow for anyone. For those devoted to the life of the spirit, cruel misfortune—even violent opposition—are familiar stages of the journey of life.

Yet though technically so contrasting, both works speak...

Extrait : "Le nom de Mozart est si illustre, sa renommée, que le temps accroît encore chaque jour, est si légitime et si grande, qu'on regrette de devoir restreindre aux limites d'une notice biographique l'histoire de sa vie et une appréciation de son œuvre. - Au reste, beaucoup de travaux ont été publiés sur ce musicien célèbre.
