Features: Goethe called his autobiography a book of novels and truths, novels can deceive people, while the truth only God knows. This biographical love story is neither a novel nor the truth, perhaps it can be called a book of words and reasoning. Traditional Mozart biographies faithfully record the subject's life up to 1788, but three years before his death, Mozart's life underwent significant changes and left many unsolved mysteries. The author of this book, with the keen insight and bold imagination of a scientist, finds a clue to connect a large amount of literature and musical works related to Mozart together. Starting from a thrilling and touching love tragedy, he deduces the real behind Mozart's murder and reveals the historical truth hidden for over two hundred years. The book includes: "Adagio in B minor" – Love at first sight; "Isis and Gertrude" – Seeds of disaster; "Piano Variations" – Taking a detour, etc.
