@del_icious_manager: "Oh, and it wouldn't hurt to LISTEN to the piece as well."

I just came here to ask: how the hell can you find out the history of how a piece was written by listening to it (especially an instrumental-only piece)?

EDIT In my life time, I did make essays about books I haven't read and I've gotten the maximum grade.

My point is that the historical circumstances of a piece don't necessarily affect its sound, so there's no way of figuring out what the artist went trough when he composed it, so listening to it is irrelevant to OP's question (not to mention that you seem to have started from the premise that he didn't listen to it).

Or are you honestly trying to say that whenever you hear a piece that's new to you, you can tell in which city and year it was composed, whether the artist was wealthy or poor, what brand of instruments did he use, how many times he rewrote parts of it, how long it took him/her to compose it and other stuff like that? Congrats then, you're supernatural.

@gm78: If, by any chance your answer is self-referential and sarcastic, you're a cool person with a subtle, but neat sense of humor. Although, I have the feeling that you're just and idiot who failed basic logic.

1. From his answer you can not deduct that he is knowledgeable about anything (whether he actually is, or not) as it's just some pasted links anyone could've googled.

2. From my answer you can't deduct that I'm not knowledgeable about this subject since I have ignored OP's question because I was intrigued by del_icious_manager's faulty logic.

3. "Please think always to whom are you addressing your silly words. Don't be such an ignorant!"

If this was about your comment, you would've been awesome. His logic sucks, yours too, mine doesn't, even if him or you know everything about Mozart and I'd know nothing. Don't break the rules of logic by bringing to the table stupid arguments that don't relate to the thesis in question. Get a clue, kid.

I am surprised that if you found your way here, you don't seem acquainted with search engines and their functions. We are certainly not going to do your homework for you, but here are some links. Get reading!

Oh, and it wouldn't hurt to LISTEN to the piece as well.

EDIT @ Zangetsu2201: For goodness sake - it's VERY hard to understand ANYTHING about a piece of music without actually listening to it. It's a bit like trying to write an essay about a book you've never read or a painting you've never seen.

Here is a bibliographic index which is good for questions like yours:
