Synopsis
This book identifies and evaluates every symphony that has ever been associated with the name of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, nearly 100 in all. Zaslaw, who served as the musicological supervisor for the complete recordings of Mozart's symphonies by Jaap Schröder, Christopher Hogwood, and the Academy of Ancient Music, draws on haustive research and his own experience in presenting this comprehensive study. He places each 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, were performed. In doing so, he has created an invaluable contribution to Mozart scholarship that will long stand as the definitive treatment of its subject.

Reviews
This book begins as a detailed consideration of all facts and conjectures regarding 98 symphonies attributed to Mozart. Zaslaw studies the music in terms of its performance, and in the process of sorting out Mozart's works from those of several other composers, explains the variety of purposes for which symphonies were written and traces the gradual evolution of the symphonic form during the Classical period. Both Mozart and the symphony are shown in an interesting new light. Thoroughly researched, clearly written, and fascinating to read, this is a welcome addition to the growing number of high-quality studies of classical composers.

About the book >.>.> Mozart's symphonies have received rather less critical attention than his operas and piano concertos, and this book is the first serious attempt in any language to survey the entire panorama of his symphonic works. Accounting for every symphony associated with Mozart involves the identification and evaluation of nearly 100 symphonies. Professor Zaslaw places each symphony in its mu-sical and cultural context, and addresses such questions as how and why the symphonies were written, how they were disseminated, who paid for them, who played them, who listened to them, and what those involved thought of them. The role of the symphony in Mozart's creative life and his contribution to the genre are also examined. An important element of the book is the consideration given to what is known about how Mozart's symphonies and those of his contemporaries were per-formed. An entire chapter is devoted to the whole question of orchestral perform-ance practice in the eighteenth century, and information that might clarify the natu. Seller Inventory # Batch-FM577-VG-12252
