Mozart's Requiem: Reception, Work, Completion by Simon P. Keefe (English) Paperb

Description: Mozart's Requiem by Simon P. Keefe Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description Simon P. Keefe presents a fresh interpretation of one of western musics most celebrated works. The study focuses on historical and current understandings of Mozarts Requiem in fiction, drama, film, criticism and performance, paying special attention to legends surrounding the work, and re-appraises Mozarts musical contributions and completions of the score. Publisher Description Presenting a fresh interpretation of Mozarts Requiem, Simon P. Keefe redresses a longstanding scholarly imbalance whereby narrow consideration of the text of this famously incomplete work has taken precedence over consideration of context in the widest sense. Keefe details the reception of the Requiem legend in general writings, fiction, theatre and film, as well as discussing criticism, scholarship and performance. Evaluation of Mozarts work on the Requiem turns attention to the autograph score, the document in which myths and musical realities collide. Franz Xaver Sussmayrs completion (1791-2) is also re-appraised and the ideological underpinnings of modern completions assessed. Overall, the book affirms that Mozarts Requiem, fascinating for interacting musical, biographical, circumstantial and psychological reasons, cannot be fully appreciated by studying only Mozarts activities. Broad-ranging hermeneutic approaches to the work, moreover, supersede traditionally limited discursive confines. Author Biography Simon P.
