MOZART'S SYMPHONIES: CONTEXT, PERFORMANCE PRACTICE, RECEPTION
by PROFESSOR NEAL ZASLAW
RATED 5-STARS (HIGHEST RECOMMENDATION) by classical music critics and enthusiasts as the numero uno book of WOLFGANG MOZART'S SYMPHONIES! This book is a MUST HAVE CD FOR ALL WOLFGANG MOZART AFICIONADOS!
WOLFGANG MOZART's middle name AMADEUS means "LOVED OF GOD."
Published in 1991 to coincide with the bicentennial of WOLFGANG AMADEUS MOZART's death, this book identifies and evaluates every symphony that has ever been associated with the name of WOLFGANG AMADEUS MOZART, nearly 100 in all. Neal Zaslaw, Herbert Gussman Professor of Music at Cornell University, who served as the musicological supervisor for the complete recordings of MOZART THE SYMPHONIES by CHRISTOPHER HOGWOOD and LONDON ENGLAND'S FAMED ACADEMY OF ANCEINT MUSIC (AAM), draws on exhaustive his research in presenting this unique superb comprehensive book. Professor Zaslaw places each MOZART symphony in its musical and cultural context, explores the role each played in MOZART'S creative life, and reveals what is known about how MOZART's symphonies and those of his contemporaries JOSEPH HAYDN were performed. In doing so, Professor Zaslaw has created an invaluable contribution to Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart scholarship that will long stand as the definitive treatment of its subject.
If you listen WOLFGANG MOZART's SYMPHONIES on a regular basis, this superb book will greatly increase your classical musical appreciation and undertanding of MOZART'S DIVINELY INSPIRED CLASSICAL MUISCAL GENIUS AND GIFT!!!
WOLFGANG MOZART's SYMPHONIES REPRESENT THE ULTIMATE CLASSICAL MUSIC EXPRESSION OF GRANDEUR, PASSION, and the SUBLIME. MOZART'S SYMPHONIES delight the listener with ALL THE SPLENDOR OF CLASSICAL MUSIC IN ONE HEAVENLY SOUND! MOZART devoted his life to ACHIEVING PERFECTION WITH IDEAL BEAUTY IN HIS CLASSICAL MUSICAL THAT REFLECTS THE HIGHEST LEVEL OF HUMAN ARTISTIC ACHIEVEMENT.
As the world's greatest classical music genius ever, WOLFGANG MOZART composed his 600+ CLASSICAL MUSIC WORKS WITH THE "QUALITIES OF BEAUTY, CLARITY, LOGIC, AND BALANCE"!
DO YOU KNOW "HOW MANY SYMPHONIES DID WOLFGANG MOZART COMPOSE?" This is not an easy question to answer since THE CORRECT ANSWER IS NOT 41 SYMPHONIES. The correct answer is Wolfgang Mozart composed 68 SYMPHONIES!
MOZART's first symphony was composed in 1764 and his last symphony was written in 1788. One of the MAJOR MOZART RECORDING LANDMARKS IN THE LAST 25-YEARS has been the ACADEMY OF ANCEINT MUSIC'S MAGNIFICENT 19 CD-SET PERIOD INSTRUMENT RECORDING of MOZART THE SYMPHONIES / CHRISTOPHER HOGWOOD containing ALL of MOZART'S 68 SYMPHONIES and EVERY NOTE WOLFGANG AMADEUS MOZART EVER COMPOSED for his SYMPHONIES. Most COMPLETE MOZART SYMPHONY CD SETS do not contain recordings of Mozart symphonies that fall outside Symphonies Nos. 1 - 41.
