A Conductor's Commentary on the Operas of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart

Myer Fredman

This is the first book by an experienced conductor to explore the orchestra's contribution to Mozart's greatest operatic works: Idomeneo, Die Entfḫrung aus dem Serail, Die Schauspieldirektor, Le nozze di Figaro, Don Giovanni, Cos`i fan tutte, La clemenza di Tito, and Die Zauberflote. It is written for the concert and opera-going public who are interested in enlarging their knowledge and appreciation of these masterpieces, but also contains many practical suggestions for aspiring conductors.
