Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book is a sweeping account of German music during the golden age of the 18th century. Steeped in both Catholic and Christian traditions, this book traces German musicâs evolution from the Renaissance era, through Baroque and into the Classical period. The author positions the musical genius of Bach, Handel, Gluck, Haydn, Mozart, and Beethoven within their historical and cultural contexts, arguing that German composers of this period uniquely synthesized polyphonic and homophonic styles. The author also discusses how Bachâs innovations in form and harmony, Handelâs dramatic oratorios, Gluckâs operatic reforms, Haydnâs creation of the symphony, Mozartâs sublime meld of comedy and tragedy, and Beethovenâs heroic symphonies collectively represent the pinnacle of musical achievement. In the authorâs view, the sophistication of ideas and compositions produced during this period has never been surpassed. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
