In his latest best-selling book, Norbert Elias transforms fundamental science into high art before the eyes of spellbound readers. The classic of German sociology depicts Mozart not only as a musical genius, but also as a person involved in social interaction in an era of dramatic change, and by no means the most successful person. Elias grounds the common ideas about Mozart's creative talent and shows him from an unexpected side - as a composer who sought to control his passions and take a worthy place in the professional hierarchy. The sociological analysis of the transition from a court society with a system of patronage and personal dependence to a bourgeois anonymous market is supplemented by the author with an appeal to psychoanalysis. The study of the German scientist allows us to answer questions, some of which seem to take us beyond scientific knowledge. Was Mozart a born genius and what did that mean? Why did he die in poverty, abandoned by friends and relatives, although his older and younger contemporaries were in demand? What makes a work great and allows it to become part of the canon for many generations? Why is personal tragedy not the price of a unique creative gift? And finally, one of the most important questions: how to raise a genius?
