| Review |
Author David Hurwitz shows readers how to more fully enjoy Haydn's music, acquainting them with the master's innovative melodic creativity, revolutionary use of musical form, and important characteristics of his personal style, such as his genius for writing in minor keys and creating comedy in his music. Hurwitz explores Haydn's vocal music and instrumental masterpieces that fall outside the mainstream, as well as his principal instrumental works. |
