Recenzje

“In this important book, Simon Keefe traces a compelling joint historiography of Haydn and Mozart, with a biographer's eye for detail and a chronicler's grasp of the sweep of time. Deftly navigating a rich variety of period sources, he uses a wide-angle lens to challenge monolithic tendencies in well-known “master narratives” and reveals the long nineteenth century as a vital context for understanding Haydn and Mozart today.” Jessica Waldoff, Professor of Music, College of the Holy Cross, Worcester
