It’s 1987. His parents had hoped for medicine or law—anything with a parking space—but instead, he’s scraping by on odd jobs and the kind of hope only a twenty-one-year-old with a library card can muster. One of those jobs is at Allegro FM, the local classical station, where he stumbles into an unlikely friendship with Bertram Bobker: honey-voiced, immaculately dressed, and somewhere north of eighty.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWhen Noah is unceremoniously fired, Bertram quits in protest. Soon, Noah is spending afternoons with Bertram’s closest friends: aging gentlemen who sip Poire Williams, collect dusty manuscripts, and speak of dead composers as if they might still RSVP to dinner.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThat’s where Noah discovers a handwritten sketch which looks suspiciously—impossibly—like Mozart.

Together, they launch a wild plan, part heist, part heartfelt gamble on the power of music, friendship, and second chances. Because who’s to say one more piece by Mozart can’t still upend a few lives, mend a few hearts, and maybe even cover first and last month’s rent?\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"SIMON AND SCHUSTER - 2","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":59733439021342,"sku":"9798895654163","price":30.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0248\/3598\/1393\/files\/the-lost-mozart-9798895654163_lg_1.jpg?v=1785855922","url":"https:\/\/juilliardstore.com\/products\/the-lost-mozart","provider":"Juilliard Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
