This 2004 book is a full-length, scholarly study of what is widely
regarded as Mozart's most enigmatic opera and Lorenzo Da Ponte's
most erudite text. Against the long-standing judgement that the
opera uses a misguided confidence in reason to traduce feeling,
Goehring's study shows how Cosi affirms comedy's regenerative
powers and its capacity to grant access to modes of sympathy and
understanding that are otherwise inaccessible. In making this
argument, the book surveys a rich literary, operatic and
intellectual territory. It offers fresh perspective on the
relationships between text and tone in the opera, on the tension
between comedy and philosophy and its representation in stage works
and on the pastoral mode which the opera uses in subtle ways.
Throughout, Goehring's argument is sustained by close readings of
primary sources, many of them little known, and is richly
illustrated with musical examples.
