Nonmusicians need not fear endless pages of musical analyses and examples, for Solomon uses them sparingly: this is a book about a life, not compositional technique. By the time the reader encounters the dying Mozart, who was so bloated and reeking of internal corruption that witnesses said the stench was unbearable, and whose last act was to expel a torrent of brown vomit, any romantic clichas of the periwigged rococo china doll who wept when Marie Antoinette refused to kiss him have long been dispelled.

Turn to nearly any page and find an image like this, which describes Vienna's distaste for mundane tea-table conversation: "It was as remote from her interests as the hieroglyphs spewed from the endless coiling tongue of a ticker-tape machine." The trouble is that the accretion of similes sometimes slows the story to a maddening pace.
