The Dent Master Musicians Rossini
DESCRIPTION: The Dent Master Musicians Rossini... A classical musician by training and a conservative by inclination, Rossini none the less broke the mould of the old Italian operatic order, and laid the foundations for a new generation of romantically inspired music-dramatists. One of the most influential of nineteenth-century composers, in touch with many leading musicians of his day, Rossini was also the most complex of men - a mixture of affability and reserve, industry and indolence, wit and melancholy. Drawing on new biographical and musicological material, Richard Osborne examines Rossini's entire operatic output of thirty-nine operas, his choral works and the vocal and solo piano music written during the last decade of his life. Rossini's complex personality, his relations with many leading musicians of the nineteenth century, and his influence and reputation are also fully disclosed.
