Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Originally published in 1913 when most of Mozart's operas were still almost completely unknown in Britain and America, Edward J. Dent's classic study is now reissued in honor of the 200th anniversary of the Mozart's death. Thoroughly revised in 1947, and now featuring a new introduction by one of today's most distinguished opera scholars, Winton Dean, this volume offers a whole new generation of readers access to the seminal work on Mozart's opera. Dent was fundamental in reviving interest in the great composer's opera, and his translations of the librettos did much to popularize them with English-speaking audiences. For each of the major operas Dent examines its composition, explores the background of its libretto, provides a synopsis of its plot, analyzes its music, and offers a lively discussion of the work's public reception. In addition, he blends his study of the operas with much biographical detail, shedding light not only on the composer and the opera of his time, but on the whole eighteenth-century world of music in which Mozart thrived. Anyone interested in opera in general and Mozart in particular will find this book indispensable.

Excerpt: ...individuality, such as it is, is exhibited in the aria with which the opera opens; then when Don Giovanni and Donna Anna hold the scene, he sinks into the background, and his rapidly reiterated notes, so far from expressing fear, as has been suggested, merely serve to remind us of his presence, and give a touch of the grotesque, as they do throughout the opera. Let those who think the quaver figure represents fear sing through Leporello's part by itself, without the others, and judge of the effect. Leporello's fright does not become evident until just before the duel begins, that is, at the moment when his own life is obviously in danger: --The theme, it will be noticed, has a close resemblance to certain phrases in the aria "Ah! pieta, signori miei," which he sings after the great sextet in the second act. Moreover, Mozart shows us here that the theme is important by making the orchestra play it in unison, so that it stands out against the dialogue of the Commendatore and Don Giovanni. We may note too, along with this, the theme which accompanies Don Giovanni's first words to his adversary, a theme which is suggested later on when the Statue speaks to Don Giovanni in the cemetery. Another significant use of a previous theme appears in the terzetto after the duel; Don Giovanni, speaking of the dying Commendatore.uses the same melodic phrase that Donna Anna hurls at Don Giovanni when she refuses to let him go. It would be a mistake to label such themes as examples of leitmotiv, but if we have accustomed ourselves to observing this procedure in modern music, we shall find that it is equally worth while keeping our ears open for it in Mozart. It is interesting to compare the way in which the two composers have treated the death of...

Download or read book Mozart s Operas written by Daniel Heartz and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 1990 with total page 392 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Renowned Mozart scholar Daniel Heartz brings his deep knowledge of social history, theater, and art to a study of the last and great decade of Mozart's operas. Mozart specialists will recognize some of Heartz's best-known essays here; but six pieces are new for the collection, and others have been revised and updated with little-known documents on the librettist's, composer's, and stage director's craft. All lovers of opera will value the elegance and wit of Professor Heartz's writing, enhanced by thirty-seven illustrations, many from his private collection. The volume includes Heartz's classic essay on Idomeneo (1781), the work that continued to inspire and sustain Mozart through his next, and final, six operas. Thomas Bauman brings his special expertise to a discussion of Die Entführung aus dem Serail (1782). The ten central chapters are devoted to the three great operas composed to librettos by Lorenzo da Ponte—Le nozze di Figaro (l786), Don Giovanni (l787), and Così fan tutte (l790). The reader is treated to fresh insights on da Ponte's role as Mozart's astute and stage-wise collaborator, on the singers whose gifts helped shape each opera, and on the musical connections among the three works. Parallels are drawn with some of the greatest creative artists in other fields, such as Molière, Watteau, and Fragonard. The world of the dance, one of Heartz's specialties, lends an illuminating perspective as well. Finally, the essays discuss the deep spirituality of Mozart's last two operas, Die Zauberflöte and La Clemenza di Tito (both l79l). They also address the pertinence of opera outside Vienna at the end of the century, the fortunes and aspirations of Freemasonry in Austria, and the relation of Mozart's overtures to the dramaturgy of the operas.
Download or read book Recognition in Mozart s Operas written by Jessica Waldoff and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2006-04-13 with total page 350 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since its beginnings, opera has depended on recognition as a central aspect of both plot and theme. Though a standard feature of opera, recognition--a moment of new awareness that brings about a crucial reversal in the action--has been largely neglected in opera studies. In Recognition in Mozart's Operas, musicologist Jessica Waldoff draws on a broad base of critical thought on recognition from Aristotle to Terence Cave to explore the essential role it plays in Mozart's operas. The result is a fresh approach to the familiar question of opera as drama and a persuasive new reading of Mozart's operas.
