In Mozart's Ghosts, author Mark Everist investigates how the composer's past status can be understood as part of today's veneration. Examining the developing reputation of Mozart from his death in 1791 to the present, Everist argues that modern reverence for the composer is conditioned by earlier responses to his music, and that such earlier responses are more complex than allowed by a standard "reception studies" model.
