Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart Boeken

Liefdesbrieven van belangrijke mannen uit de westerse geschiedenis, van de Romeinse tijd tot in de Eerste Wereldoorlog, aan de vrouw van hun dromen.

Brieven van de Oostenrijkse componist (1756-1791).

A selection of Mozart's letters, translated into English, complete with notes, linking commentary and chronology.

After the first act, the Elector loudly exclaimed "Bravo!" - not knowing if he could stay much longer, so the aria and the storm scene had to be performed at the beginning of the second act. Following this, he again expressed his approval in the friendliest manner, laughingly remarking, "One would not think that something so great could be contained in such a small head." This reflects the remarkable creativity and emotional depth of "Idomeneo," an opera that explores themes of duty, sacrifice, and the struggle between personal desire and responsibility. Set in ancient Crete, the story follows King Idomeneo, who, after surviving a storm at sea, vows to sacrifice the first living being he encounters upon his return. This leads to a series of dramatic conflicts involving love, betrayal, and divine intervention, ultimately culminating in a powerful resolution that examines the nature of leadership and the burdens it carries. Mozart's masterful score enhances the emotional and thematic richness of the narrative, making "Idomeneo" a significant work in the operatic canon.

Now available for the first time in a sturdily produced, reasonably priced paperbound edition is the complete orchestral score of Mozart's The Marriage of Figaro, widely considered the greatest comic opera ever written. Based on the second play of a trilogy by Beaumarchais (the first was The Barber of Seville ), Figaro elevates the time-honored opera buffa of Italian tradition to new heights, transfiguring persons and scenes with glorious melodies and superb dramatic characterizations. This edition, based on Mozart's autograph manuscript and early German translations of the libretto, embodies both the original Italian libretto of Lorenzo Da Ponte and a new corrected version of the German text. It is totally complete and contains all passages, including some that are missing from other editions and often cut in performances. In addition, the Editor's Commentary includes a complete review of all dubious passages and text problems. This full orchestral score is an indispensable aid for study and for anyone listening to recordings or live performances. In no other manner can the listener or student keep full awareness of the many elements that make up this opera.

Mozart's "Don Giovanni," since its Prague premiere in 1787, has become one of the most performed and beloved operas, rooted in the age-old figure of the "womanizer." The character of the impulsive Don Juan has been a subject of exploration and discussion throughout the ages. The audience's identification with this stage figure contributes to its success. Beyond this, the opera's enduring appeal in performances is attributed to the combination of a sophisticated libretto by Da Ponte and Mozart's distinctive music. This book includes the libretto along with introductory comments by Kurt Pahlen, who provides insights into the musical and dramatic events of the opera, addressing compositional structure and thematic connections. A brief summary of the plot and an overview of the work's genesis place it within the broader context of the composer's oeuvre and biography, offering a comprehensive, richly illustrated introduction.

„Zauberflöte“ byla původně zamýšlena jako lidová hra pro několik desítek představení v jednom vídeňském předměstském divadle, když požádal Mozarta o její zkomponování. Obsah opery byl mnohokrát interpretován. Někteří viděli v této opeře čistě svobodnomyslné dílo, jiní se domnívali, že Schikaneder dal volný průchod své fantazii, když do veselého děje zakomponoval některé svobodnomyslné prvky z výchovného románu „Sethos“ od abbé Jean Terrassona. Libretista a skladatel vytvořili kaleidoskop jako symbol lidského života, jehož vyjádření pravého humanismu oslovuje každého člověka. Není tedy divu, že „Zauberflöte“ se často stává prvním operním zážitkem i pro velmi mladé lidi. Tato opera je bohatě ilustrována a poskytuje komplexní pohled na dílo v kontextu skladatelova celkového díla a jeho biografie.
