Haydn, Mozart and the Vienneses School 1740-1780

Historians have long tried to place the music of Haydn and Mozart in the lineage of German Lutheran music.

In this book, Daniel Heartz shows that the first Vienese school grew from a Catholic inheritance in Italian music and from local tradition, with an admixture of French currents.

The Generation of composers led by Haydn no longer trained in Italy. By the time young Mozart joined the ranks of the Viennese school, its accomplishments towered above all others of the time.

The author`s approach can be compared to viewing a peaks take on even greater majesty when seen in their natural context of foothills and lesser peaks.

This is how Haydn and Moart were viewed by their contemporaries, whose world of perception Heartz recreateds, using, among other things, the visual art of the period.

His focus is on music as a part of cultural history at a particular time and place.

Stylistic terms and a priori periods matter less to him than the common denominators of geography, culture, and political history.

It had been the author`s intention to write the Music in the Classic Era volume so long missing from Norton`s series. But in the course of his extensive research, he came upon a treasure trove of chronicles, depicting Viennese concert and theatrical life circa 1760, and his eyes were opened to the vastness and richness of the subject. After a few additional years of work in Veinna, it was plain that the material he had amassed would have to stand on its own. The time span of 1740 to 1780, corresponding to the reign of Empress Maria Theresa, seemed right because she had broken with the past in many cultural spheres, including music.

Therefore, this book must be viewed as the first in a two or three volume set coverting the classical period.
