Escuchar "Las bodas de Fígaro" de Mozart

For over two centuries, the music of Mozart has demonstrated an ever-present ability to fascinate listeners from the most diverse of circumstances and backgrounds, such as geographical, cultural and social backgrounds etc. But what lies behind this music which has such a wide-ranging power of suggestion? Both a reading of the author’s extensive correspondence and an expressive reflectionon his works lead to an initial answer. In general terms, the music of Mozart is born of the stage genre, understood by the composer as a medium in which to unfurl the infinite variety of emotional nuances that the world of human emotions possesses.

Thus, knowledge of Mozart’s opera becomes the most appropriate way to understand whatthe expressive predisposition was that shaped the whole of his musical composition the most.

This book belongs to a series of four monographs. Each one is dedicated to one of his four most universal operas: The Marriage of Figaro, Don Giovanni, Così fan tutte and The Magic Flute.
