Mozart's Symphonies : Context, Performance Practice, Reception Paperback / softback
by Neal (Professor of Music, Professor of Music, Cornell University, Ithaca, New York) Zaslaw
Part of the Clarendon Paperbacks series
Paperback / softback
Description
First published in hardback, in 1989, Mozart's Symphonies is the first serious attempt in any language to survey the entire panorama of Mozart's symphonic works.
Accounting for every symphony associated with Mozart involved the identification and evaluation of nearly a hundred symphonies.
Professor Zaslaw placed each symphony in its musical and cultural context, and addressed such questions as how and why the symphonies were written, how they were disseminated, who paid for them, who played them, who listened to them, and what those involved thought of them.
The role of the symphony in Mozart's creative life and his contribution to the genre was also examined. The result is a classic of Mozart scholarship, which offers an outstanding contribution to Mozart literature in this generation.
This paperback edition makes that contribution more widely known in this year, the bicentenary of Mozart's death.
