This digital resource is an excellent look into the personal and family life of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart during a critical time in his work (Eisen 2011,1771). Researchers and music lovers can learn much about Mozart's experiences, inspirations, and connections by looking at his letters (Eisen 2011,1771).

By focusing on this specific area and time, the piece gives valuable information about how Mozart's works were accepted, changed, and woven into Bohemian culture (Freemanova 2013, 85). Freemanova's work sheds light on how Mozart's talent and the rich cultural environment of Bohemia came together uniquely.
