Mozart - The Physical and the Mental

I've been pursuing Mozart's music lately, especially his music for wind instruments. Charles Rosen directed me to Hermann Albert's massive 1515 page biography, W. A. Mozart. I bought my copy a few years ago at a great price. Today for $29.00 plus $3.99 for shipping it can be yours.
    There are two problems for me. (1) I hurt my left wrist by frequently grabbing onto Cook & Morton's 1725 page The Penguin Guide to Jazz on CD. (2) Charles Rosen had a photographic memory; something I haven't got!
    I shall press on though. I'll let you know about my wrist and memory.
