Beschreibung
Mozart's ambivalent personality offers a key to a deeper understanding of his
music. He could be merry, even boisterous, but from many of his works speaks
a deep seriousness. Both mirth and melancholy stamp his being. His operatic
music includes both the comic and the tragic. The present study treats the
special character of his musical language and the relations between his
personality and his multiform oeuvre. Its mission is to grasp the
peculiarities of his operatic work, his opere serie, opere buffe and
singspiels. The chapter 'The Program in the Master Overtures' initiates the
series of semantic analyses the author has pursued in other books. In the
19th century, it was fashionable to compare Mozart to Raffael. But the
comparison is askew, as the graceful is only one side of his personality.
