In the words of Alfred Einstein, this classic study of Mozart's piano concertos is 'full of penetrating remarks not only about the piano concerto but about Mozart's art in general'. It is reissued here with a new introduction by noted Mozart scholar Cliff Eisen who draws the reader's attention to the virtues of the volume and also examines the developments in Mozart scholarship since the volume's original publication.
This volume investigates the structural, stylistic, and historical significance of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart's piano concertos within the broader context of his creative output. Arthur Hutchings, a respected musicologist, utilizes a detailed analytical framework to examine the evolution of the concerto form as practiced by Mozart. By synthesizing historical context with technical musicological observation, the author provides a comprehensive assessment of how these works reflect the composer's artistic maturity and innovation.
What You Will Find
Experts and musicologists frequently cite this work as a foundational text for understanding the nuances of Mozart's keyboard compositions. Readers often note the academic density of the prose, which serves as a rigorous resource for students and enthusiasts of classical music history.
