Society of America * . *
Exhaustively researched and documented . . . [this book] considers
such concepts as intention, ambiguity, mimesis, chance, and
necessity -- each with its own chapter -- in the light of modernist
concepts, and with a critique as to whether that is adequate to
understand Mozart's works, divorced from the magic and genius that
many music lovers have long associated with him. A detailed and
impressive set of arguments, concluding that the limits of
modernist aesthetics are inadequate to understanding 'a Mozartean
beauty -- where the familiar, the superabundant, and the uncanny
meet.' AMERICAN RECORD GUIDE * AMERICAN RECORD GUIDE *
