Mozart (1759-1791), in whose shadow Mr. Varon is shown above, was (together with Bach and Beethoven) one of the fathers of classical music. He was also a full contemporary of Adam Smith (1723-1790), father of classical economics.They died a year apart, and they both deserved and have been honored with statues. This book leaves no doubt about where Mr. Varon's preferences lie, especially in his retirement. The book follows in substance and in spirit his last one titled Book Love: Twelve Essays on an Affair without End (2018). Mr. Varon lives and writes in Alexandria, Virginia and can be reached at Benvaron@aol.com
