In 1829 Goethe famously described the string quartet as 'a
conversation among four intelligent people'. Inspired by this
metaphor, Edward Klorman's study draws on a wide variety of
documentary and iconographic sources to explore Mozart's chamber
works as 'the music of friends'. Illuminating the meanings and
historical foundations of comparisons between chamber music and
social interplay, Klorman infuses the analysis of sonata form and
phrase rhythm with a performer's sensibility. He develops a new
analytical method called multiple agency that interprets the
various players within an ensemble as participants in stylized
social intercourse - characters capable of surprising, seducing,
outwitting, and even deceiving one another musically. This book is
accompanied by online resources that include original recordings
performed by the author and other musicians, as well as video
analyses that invite the reader to experience the interplay in
time, as if from within the ensemble.
