Mozart knew that his fame was due to his piano playing and improvisations; and, as a result, much of the music he wrote was intended to serve a single aim: to set the stage, quite literally, for compelling and captivating performances. In his piano works, symphonies, and operas he sought to amuse, stir, and ravish an awe-struck public. Mozart the Performer brings to life this elusive side of Mozart's musicianship. Over the course of five "variations," Dorian Bandy traces the influence of showmanship on Mozart's style, imbuing his output with a theatricality and evanescence easily lost behind the scrim of familiarity. This insightful and imaginative book reveals the countless ways performance influenced Mozart's compositional habits, ultimately offering a genuinely novel understanding of why, centuries later, Mozart's music still captivates us and inspiring new ways of listening to it"--Provided by publisher. 600 10 $a Mozart, Wolfgang Amadeus, $d 1756-1791 $x Criticism and interpretation. 600 10 $a Mozart, Wolfgang Amadeus, $d 1756-1791. $t Piano music. 650 0 $a Piano $x History $x History $y 18th century. 650 0 $a Improvisation (Music) $x History $y 18th century. 650 6 $a Piano $0 (CaQQLa)201-0378900 $x Histoire $0 (CaQQLa)201-0064328 $x Histoire $0 (CaQQLa)201-0378900 $y 18e siecle. $0 (CaQQLa)201-0378900 650 6 $a Improvisation (Musique) $0 (CaQQLa)201-0378900 $x Histoire $0 (CaQQLa)201-0378900 $y 18e siecle. $0 (CaQQLa)201-0378900 600 17 $a Mozart, Wolfgang Amadeus, $d 1756-1791 $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00050702 630 07 $a Piano music (Mozart, Wolfgang Amadeus) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01362018 650 7 $a Improvisation (Music) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00968306 650 7 $a Piano $x Performance $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01063372 648 7 $a 1700-1799 $2 fast 655 7 $a Criticism, interpretation, etc. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411635 655 7 $a History $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20240217011239.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=52497FECCD6211EE9507C16149ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
