Bravo! Great book for seeing another side of Mozart!

This book gave the history of music within the masonic ritual, music supplied by Mozart, and told of how Mozart was received among other masons. Great information on the Magic Flute and attempted sequels thereafter. Great book if you want to know Mozart from another side. As it is only about 130 pages, you will get a lot of information in a short span.The only bone to pick is that the author seems to be in that club of 20th century musicologists who like to slam Constanze. I could not accept this part. Being able to overlook this, I give it five stars as interesting reading and recommend it's purchase.
