Besproken in AQC, jrg.95 (1982), 1983, p.214:
“The book is the result of the splendid detective work done by Bro.Robbins Landon and his wife, Elsa, in connection with an 18th century painting discovered by the Tinti familiy and which was restored and displayed in the State Museum of Vienna. The picture shows a meeting of the Crown Hope Lodge and has been the subject of close scrutiny by Professor Robbins Landon with particular reference to a 1790 document listing the members of that lodge. The picture includes a study of Mozart and reveals that Prince Nicholas Esterhazy was a member of a masonic lodge in Vienna. The latter point will prove most interesting to all who have been connected with masonry and who have made Mozart their special study. The book is profusely illustrated and gives a close insight into Austrian Freemasonry at the height of its power.”

Besproken in AMT, september 1983, pp.165-170, en oktober 1983, pp.201-204:
“Een verhaal dus over Mozart als vrijmetselaar, de tijd waarin hij maçon was én een intrigerend schilderij uit zijn tijd, waarop hij een belangrijke plaats inneemt.”

Besproken door Blomhert, o.c., p.112:
“overzicht van Mozarts maçonnieke ambiance met name naar aanleiding van het door de schrijver ontdekte schilderij van een Leerlinginwijding in Mozarts loge Zur neugekrönten Hoffnung in 1790, waarop Mozart (hoogst waarschijnlijk) staat afgebeeld.”

This review of the last year of Mozart's life wasn't quite the revelation that Maynard Solomon's biography of Mozart was, but on my current Mozart bender I'm glad to have read it. The author is passionately devoted to Mozart and no detail is too small as he examines Mozart's health, finances, movements, relationships in 1791. Some of the details were too small for me, but I enjoyed the author's devotion to Mozart and to Constanze.

At one point he reports that Beethoven refused to play before a certain lady because he thought she had been Mozart's mistress. Landon says: "(what a prude Beethoven was!)." One of the appendices is an article entitled "An Illustrated Student of Mozart's Apartment and Wardrobe," with photographs of typical clothing and furniture as well as floor plans of the Mozarts' apartment in Vienna.

Recommended if you want to time-travel to the late 18th Century in the company of Mozart.

EL ULTIMO AÑO DE MOZART

1791 es el año de la muerte de Mozart. Es también el
año del Concierto para clarinete, de La flauta mágica
y del Réquiem: una sucesión de obras maestras que,
como ha escrito George Steiner, señalan uno de los más
increíbles momentos de creatividad de la experiencia
humana.

Mozart se apaga bruscamente a los treinta
y cinco años en medio de una actividad portentosa,
agotado, sin duda, por el exceso de trabajo, pero quizá
aún más por la tensión espiritual de su último período
de creación, esa fase de 1791 en la que ya no cabe
hablar de madurez ni plenitud, sino tan sólo
de superación.

El musicólogo Robbins Landon ha construido un relato
tan ágil como completo de los últimos días de Mozart
y de las circunstancias de su muerte en el contexto
de la vida musical de Viena y Praga en 1791 y de sus
relaciones con la corte imperial.

H. C. Robbins Landon (Boston, 1926), historiador
y musicólogo, está considerado el máximo
experto en la vida y obra de Mozart. Ha fundado
la Haydn Society y publicado numerosas obras
sobre Haydn y el clasicismo vienés. También ha
colaborado en la edición completa de la obra de
Mozart.
