The play and movie Amadeus have revived the old legend. Rather few people also know Salieris work  which only in recent years has begun to be performed again. In this first biography of Salieri in 160 years we discover that Salieri was one of the most important opera composers of his time; the success of several of his over forty operas was spectacular. In Vienna  where Beethoven  Schubert and Liszt were among his pupils  he was the most influential personage in the music world  and he was celebrated throughout Europe - from Naples to Copenhagen  and from Lisbon to Moscow. Braunbehrens examines the composers life and carefully analyzes his relationship with Mozart  tracing the legends surrounding their relationship back to their sources and setting the record straight. We come to realize that only posterity placed Salieri in Mozarts shadow. The author also discusses in detail all of Salieris operas  both the libretti and the music. With Maligned Master he has written an important document for everybody interested in the history of opera.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45279757991989,"sku":"ByrdShop_088064155X","price":79.24,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780880641555.jpg?v=1780608962","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/maligned-master-the-real-story-of-antonio-salieri-9780880641555","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
