Haydn, Mozart and the Viennese School: 1740-1780

by Daniel Heartz

On This Page

Description

Historians have long tried to place the music of Haydn and Mozart in the lineage of German Lutheran music. In this book, Daniel Heartz shows that the first Viennese school grew from a Catholic inheritance in Italian music and from local tradition, with an admixture of French currents. Lavishly illustrated with music examples and reproductions, both in black and white and color, this long-awaited master study will be of great interest to scholars, cultural historians, performers, and all show more intelligent music lovers. show less
