Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The family into which Mozart was born has never received a rigorous contextual study which does justice to the complexity of its relationships or to its interactions with colleagues, friends, and neighbours in Mozarts native city, Salzburg. Most biographies of Mozart have undervalued the manypassages in the rich family correspondence which do not bear directly on him. This book draws on the neglected material, most of which has never been translated into English. At the heart of the work is a detailed examination of the letters, supplemented by little-known archival material from thepapers of the Berchtold family, into which Mozarts sister Nannerl married. Additional information concerning Salzburg's local history, especially the working conditions at court and the provision for dependants of court employees, enables the hopes, expectations, and fears of the Mozarts to belocated in the context of the social conditions there. As well as providing a sympathetic account of the other members of the family, all of whom were profoundly affected by the experience of sharing their lives with Mozart, this approach gives new significance to the events of Mozart's life; notonly are they set against the background of his familys expectations of him, but the ways in which the source material has to be used for this purpose necessarily involves fundamental improvements in its interpretation. Ruth Halliwell challenges most previous views of the characters in Mozart's family (especially of his father, Leopold), and of the relationships within it. She also introduces a wealth of characters from the Mozarts's circle in Salzburg, from chambermaids to princes, and demonstrates the relevanceof the gossip stories the Mozarts told about them to the larger outlook of the members of the family. In an important final section, Halliwell traces the roles of Nannerl and Mozart's wife Constanze in using, controlling, and handing on the biographical source material after Mozarts death. She discusses their dealings with publishers such as Breitkopf and Hartel, and with the authors of theearliest biographies of Mozart. This complex topic here receives an account which not only illuminates the characters of both women and the relations between them, but also addresses the question of how myths were able to creep into the Mozartian biography at so early a stage and take tenacioushold.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "From eleven years of age, when he wrote his first work for the theatre, until twenty-four, when he received the commission for Idomeneo, Mozart composed a German Singspiel and part of a second one, two Italian opere buffe, five Italian opere serie, a comedy in Latin, an act of a sacred drama in German, and the incidental music for a German play. It is these twelve works, and the musical and social setting in which they were created, which Carolyn Gianturco examines in this study. Dr Gianturco approaches each piece from the several points of view significant to its understanding: biographical, so far as the young Mozart himself was concerned; patronage, without which there could have been no such works; the libretti, the individual singers and the musicians through whom the music was realised; and the music itself, which Dr Gianturco analyses in detail with the help of numerous musical examples. For many years Mozart's early theatrical compositions were thought interesting only as a prelude to the five masterpieces of his maturity. More recently Bastien und Bastienne, Lucio Silla, La finta giardiniera, Il re pastore and Zaide, for instance, have come to be valued for their own sake. Carolyn Gianturco's book has the great merit of showing how Mozart's early experiments in harmony, form, rhythm, instrumentation and counterpart were to give him the technical means to create true dramma in musica. Together with Mozart's participation in it, her study also sheds new light on the world of eighteenth-century opera in general. In order to write this book Carolyn Gianturco worked from original sources in the Deutsche Staatsbibliothek (East Berlin), the Staatsbibliothek Preussiche Kulturbesitz (West Berlin), the British Library, the Santa Cecilia Library in Rome, the Göttingen University Library, and the Windsor Castle Library."--Dust jacket.
