Cambridge Mozart Encyclopedia.pdf

Mozart’s enduring popularity, among music lovers as a composer and among

music historians as a subject for continued study, lies at the heart of The Cam-

bridge Mozart Encyclopedia. This reference book functions both as a starting point

for information on specific works, people, places and concepts as well as a sum-

mation of current thinking about Mozart. The extended articles on genres reflect

the latest in scholarship and new ways of thinking about the works while the

articles on people and places provide a historical framework, as well as inter-

pretation. The book also includes a series of thematic articles that cast a wide

net over the eighteenth century and Mozart’s relationship to it: these include

Austria, Germany, aesthetics, travel, Enlightenment, Mozart as a reader, and

contemporaneous medicine, among others. Many of the topics covered have

never been written about before in English-language Mozart publications or

in such detail, and represent today’s greater interest in previously unexplored

aspects of Mozart’s life, context and reception. The worklist provides the most

up-to-date account in English of the authenticity and chronology of Mozart’s

compositions.
