Published in 1845 as the first adequate account of Mozart to appear in English, Holmes' biography also was the first to be based upon Mozart's letters and the memoirs written following the composer's death in 1791. Writing just before vast changes would occur, Holmes describes music as it must have appeared to the cultured and liberal minds of his era.
