The musical dialogue :thoughts on Monteverdi, Bach, and Mozart

The musical dialogue between composer and audience is a concept central to the music of the 17th and 18th centuries, discussed here in light of three pivotal composers of the era. In the first half of the book, the author discusses general aspects of the music of Monteverdi, Bach, and Mozart, including the instruments and performance practices of the period. The second half of the book is devoted to an examination of specific works: Monteverdi's L'Orfeo, Il Ritorno d'Ulisse in Patria, and the Marian Vespers; Bach's Brandenburg Concertos, Passions, and the Mass in B minor; and Mozart's Idomeneo and Requiem. The author draws on his extensive studies of original sources and his 30 years of performance experience with the award-winning early music ensemble Concentus Musicus. This collection of lectures, talks, and essays complements the author's earlier book on the interpretation of early music, Baroque Music Today, which was published by Amadeus Press in 1988.
