Товч намтар XVIII зууны хүн төрөлхтний гайхамшиг болсон Моцартын амьдрал, адал явдалт дурсамжууд нь өнөөгийн бидний үед түүх болжээ.

Үнэхээр ч түүний уран бүтээл 1781 онд Вена хотод очсоноор илүү олонд танигдаж, нэр алдарт хүрч чаджээ. Харин олныг гайхшруулж чадсан нэрт хөгжмийн зохиолч маань са...
