Publisher Description A groundbreaking new approach proposes answers to many of the operas unresolved questions.WINNER of the Mozart Society of America Marjorie Weston Emerson Award for 2008 This study proposes a hypothesis to account for some of the operas long-standing problems. It suggests that Mozart considered the idea that thepairings in Act II should not be crossed: that each of the two disguised officers should seek to seduce his own woman. Although this alternative plot structure was rejected, signs of it may remain in the final score, in the uneasy co-existence of dramatic duplicity and musical sincerity, and in the ending, in which the easy restitution of the original couples seems not to take account of the new passions that have been aroused. Evidence that several of the singers were re-cast is also presented.In addition to these radically new ideas about the conceptual genesis of Cosi, the book also provides a full account of the works compositional history, based on early Viennese and Bohemian copies. Four different versions are identified, including a significant revision in which Mozart removed the Act II finale canon. The composers probable involvement in the 1791 Prague production is also discussed.IAN WOODFIELD is Professor of Historical Musicology, School of Music and Sonic Arts, Queens University Belfast.
