I appreciate how well thought through the process you followed to arrive at your thesis. I too think Mozart is a fascinating figure. You will need to research the state of classical music prior to Mozart: who were the leading figures prior to him and what had they contributed to bring classical music to the level in which he found it. In other words, establish the foundation upon which he built. We do have some of his recordings, but they are records. I'm sure you have better ones of your own. I would ask Ms. Preston for good sources of information as she may have music journals that we do not have.


From Meaghan,
Yes, I'll be sure to talk to Ms. Preston. At home I've got three CDs of Mozart music, as well as a book of sheet music from his Magic Flute opera, with a forward with a brief history of him that I'll be sure to look at.
