TextPublisher: Woodbridge, Suffolk : The Boydell Press, 2019Description: xxix, 348 pages : illustrations (black and white) ; 25 cmContent type: text | still image Media type: unmediated Carrier type: volumeISBN: 9781783273652 (hbk.) :Subject(s): Schubert, Franz, 1797-1828 -- Criticism and interpretation | Dramatic music -- 19th century -- History and criticism | Music | MusicDDC classification: 780.9'2 Summary: It is commonly assumed that Franz Schubert (1797-1828), best known for the lyricism of his songs, symphonies, and chamber music, lacked comparable talent for drama. Challenging this view, this book provides a timely re-evaluation of Schubert's operatic works, while demonstrating previously unsuspected locations of dramatic innovation in his vocal and instrumental music. It draws on a range of critical approaches and techniques, including semiotics, topic theory, literary criticism, narratology, and Schenkerian analysis, to situate Schubertian drama within its musical and cultural-historical context. In so doing, the study broadens the boundaries of what might be considered 'dramatic' within the composer's music and offers new perspectives for its analysis and interpretation.
