The Secular Commedia: Comic Mimesis in Late Eighteenth-Century Music - Ernest Bloch Lectures
Wye Jamison Allanbrook
Hearing the symphonies and concertos of Haydn and Mozart with an ear tuned to operatic style, as their earliest listeners did, this book shows that this familiar music is built on a set of mimetic associations drawn from conventional modes of depicting character and emotion in opera buffa.
