With Mozart the Freemason, Jacques Henry, a Mozart authority and a high-ranking Freemason, explores the influence of Masonry on Mozart's life and music. One could hardly ask for a better poster child for Masonry than Mozart, or a better biographer than Jacques Henry.

Mozart the Freemason is a wonderful book, well written, and ideal for the musician as well as non-specialist.

This is a book that no mason would want to miss. --Wr.
