«Mozart's Journey to Prague» is the short novel by Eduard Mörike, published by Oneworld Classics in paperback (128 pages, in English).
On the way to the premiere of Don Giovanni in Prague, Mozart and his wife stop at a stately estate, where the composer is caught taking an orange. Upon learning who they are, the family invites him to their daughter's wedding; the episode gives rise to a humorous, intimate and melancholy portrait of the genius.
Originally published in 1855 as «Mozart auf der Reise nach Prag»; the English translation is by Leopold von Loewenstein-Wertheim.
Recommended for readers of classics and literary fiction, and for those who want to approach Mozart from an intimate perspective.
Eduard Friedrich Mörike was a German Lutheran pastor who was also a Romantic poet and writer of novellas and novels. Many of his poems were set to music and became established folk songs, while others were used by composers Hugo Wolf and Ignaz Lachner in their symphonic works.
