In this well-illustrated work  John A. Rice shows us what a rich musical and personal history this popular stereotype has missed.  Bringing Salieri  his operas  and eighteenth-century Viennese theater vividly to life  Rice places Salieri where he belongs: no longer lurking in Mozarts shadow  but standing proudly among the leading opera composers of his age. Rices research in the archives of Vienna and close study of his scores reveal Salieri to have been a prolific  versatile  and adventurous composer for the stage. Within the extraordinary variety of Salieris approaches to musical dramaturgy  Rice identifies certain habits of orchestration  melodic style  and form as distinctively \"Salierian\"; others are typical of Viennese opera in general. A generous selection of excerpts from Salieris works  most previously unpublished  will give readers a fuller appreciation for his musical styleand its influence on Mozartthan was previously possible.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45789703569461,"sku":"ByrdShop_0226711250","price":134.71,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780226711256.jpg?v=1784695201","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/antonio-salieri-and-viennese-opera-9780226711256","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
