Unlocking the Masters Series vol.6
No composer has ever achieved the amazing progression that Haydn has. He
invented the string quartet as we know it today, became the Father of the
Symphony, and founded the greatest school in the history of music.His life
was one of ceaseless experimentation and invention, of problems surmounted
and challenges met.
In this book, No. 6 in the Amadeus Press Unlocking the Masters series, David
Hurwitz acquaints readers withHaydn's innovative melodic creativity, his
revolutionary use of musical form, and important characteristics of his
personal style, including his genius for writing in minor keys and creating
comedy in his music. In addition toHaydn's principal instrumental works,
Hurwitz explores Haydn's vocal music and instrumental masterpieces that fall
outside the mainstream. Four appendixes list all of his symphonies, string
quartets, piano sonatas, and pianotrios. Two Universal Records CDs provide
over two and a half hours of music keyed to pieces described in the book.
