Abstract:

This volume is a collection based on the Royal Musical Association's Mozart Conference, held at London's South Bank in August 1991. That conference, the largest and most international ever held by the Association, attracted an international group of speakers, and was open to the general public. The 26 papers included here have been substantially revised and extended for publication. They provide a wide panorama of modern Mozart research, exploring aspects of his life and work hitherto obscure, interpreting his instrumental music, and describing the context, in Vienna and Salzburg, in which he lived and worked. Close attention is paid to different aspects of his operas, from Lucio Silla to La clemenza di Tito, with particular stress on the creative processes in the three great Da Ponte operas: Le nozze di Figaro, Don Giovanni, Cosi fan tutte.
