The German Music Teacher’s Cottage

Inspired by the greatness of one man, Mozart, this novel takes us from 1790, when Mozart pre-published and wrote the Die Zauberfloete (The Magic Flute). Through the Russian invasion, this manuscript was lost on the coast of Estonia. There it laid until found by a cow herder in the crumbling attic of a decaying wartime music teacher's cottage.

Poverty, sickness, sadness, forced to sell, found by an American, sold to an American, sold by an American at Sotheby's London in the rare manuscript auction. This novel takes us from 1790 to 2015. It has it all. Mozart, the Magic Flute, the Second World War, love and desperation.
