( ) Astonishing not only in itself and for what was achieved in its tragically short span, Mozart's life was lived in the years that were central in forming the cultural composition of the modern era. Gutman sees the 18th century as beginning and ending with two great but fundamentally different musical dynasties in place, bridged by Mozart's phenomenal genius. This biography has at its core the premise that to illuminate the life and its works, one must understand first and foremost its cultural context. Accordingly, Gutman acts as our guide on a grand tour of the political, religious, social, economic and musical elements that define the 18th century, all the while at pains to keep the intimate story of Mozart's life firmly in sight. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
"This major work places Mozart's life and music in the context of the intellectual, political, and artistic currents of eighteenth-century Europe. Even as he delves into philosophic and aesthetic questions, Robert Gutman keeps in sight, clearly and firmly, the composer and his works. He discusses the major genres in which Mozart worked - chamber music; liturgical, theater, and keyboard compositions; concerto; symphony; opera; and oratorio. All of these riches unfold within the framework of the composer's brief but remarkable life."--Jacket. No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |
