A moving tale of secrets and survival bound together by the power of music, from a master storyteller.
When Lesley is sent to Venice to interview world-renowned violinist Paulo Levi on his fiftieth birthday, she cannot believe her luck. She is told that she can ask him anything at all – except the Mozart question. But it is Paulo himself who decides that it is time for the truth to be told. And so follows the story of his parents as Jewish prisoners of war, forced to play Mozart violin concerti for the enemy; how they watched fellow Jews being led off to their deaths and knew that they were playing for their lives. As the story unfolds, the journalist begins to understand the full horror of war, and how one group of musicians survived using the only weapon they had – music.

the book calms you mind and makes you think of music
i think it was a very intresting book and had lots of mysteries within it. it also shows independence and feelings. it is a great book!
Very interesting learnt a lot!!
I loved this book even though it was a short read. I also found it was nice being able to relate to the book as I play the viola. I think the Mozart question was asked and answered. I like the moral of this story and how Paolo Levi learnt how to play the violin. I also like how Paolo joins the family together, this story has been told really well. I recommend this to ages 11+
Its a recommended book to read because I learnt a lot what happened to innocent people who were treated badly in the second world war. It was very sad. It made me cry.
I loved this story and the happy ending. The illustrations were very good and it felt as if I was there. Each of the main characters had nice personalities and they were all very kind. I would recommend this book to people who like Micbael Morpurgo books and to those who like stories about the war.
I liked that it was all about music.
it was a very sad book but it is the type I like .
It is extremely good to hear how the Paolo Levi had a story of his parents to share with his interviewer. I would definitely recommend this book to other people across the world, who are attempting to read these 6 books over the summer holidays.
I have read this book and it is quite good as a book, it was a fictional book and the main character was Lesley, she was quite a good character. I would definitely recommend this book to someone else because it is a very good book.

leave at a cliffhanger i loved this book hope you will to bye
The Mozart Question is a under 10 book as it has easy words and pictures. The lady is a reporter of only 3 weeks of experience and she gets asked by her boss to interview one of the most famous violinists around, she is told she can not under any circumstances ask him "The Mozart Question". She asks him just one question and he reveals the answer to the question everyone wanted to know...
If you like music this could be the one for you. It's all about a boy and how he learnt to play music on a violin.
Really sad and happy at the same time.
A great book (as Michael morpurgo's are)which is quite emotional.
