Landon, H. C. Robbins, — Mozart's Last Year 1791.

NY, Schirmer, (1988). 1st Amer ed. VG PB. Because his body swelled up after death, it was thought he might have been poisoned. Drawing on a rich variety of sources. Landon settles the score with eyewitness accounts to freshly discovered documents, and lays aside myths for the facts about Mozart's last year. Landon is one of the world's leading musicologists, he helped edit the collected edition of Mozart's work. Though scholarly, this work is so lively and convincing that the reader feels like a juror mesmerized by a compelling cross-examiner.
