The following is the text of "Mozart: The Man and the Artist, as
Revealed in his own Words," compiled and annotated by Friedrich
Kerst and translated into english, and edited, with new
introduction and additional notes, by Henry Edward Krehbiel.
Each page was cut out of the original book with an X-acto
knife and fed into an Automatic Document Feeder Scanner to
make this e-text, so the original book was disbinded in order
to save it.
Some adaptations from the original text were made while
formatting it for an e-text. Italics in the original book were
ignored in making this e-text, unless they referred to proper
nouns, in which case they are put in quotes in the e-text.
Italics are problematic because they are not easily rendered in
ASCII text.
This electronic text was prepared by John Mamoun with help from
numerous other proofreaders, including those associated with
Charles Franks' Distributed Proofreaders website. Thanks to C.
Franks, S. Harris, A. Montague, S. Morrison, J. Roberts, R. Rowe,
R. Tremblay, R. Zimmerman and several others for proof-reading.
