Mozart's Message of Light Emile Ortenberg

This book is aimed at those who, while loving Mozart's music, are not happy with the simple pleasure of hearing it, and feel an inner need to discover further its depth and wealth. This essay is the result of decades of practising, listening and studying his music, and on that basis, the author offers all lovers of Mozart an opportunity to go beyond the level of basic listening and to reach a level of "revelation" that he has called receiving "a message of light". The path suggested is that of a repeated, totally aware approach, of a number of works which carry, in some way, this message, and which he discusses and examines. At the root of this approach has been the questioning of the very idea of the "mozartian", a person who has truly understood the essence of his music.
