Many know Antonio Salieri only as Mozart's envious nemesis from the
film "Amadeus," In this well-illustrated work, John A. Rice shows
us what a rich musical and personal history this popular stereotype
has missed.
Bringing Salieri, his operas, and eighteenth-century Viennese
theater vividly to life, Rice places Salieri where he belongs: no
longer lurking in Mozart's shadow, but standing proudly among the
leading opera composers of his age. Rice's research in the archives
of Vienna and close study of his scores reveal Salieri to have been
a prolific, versatile, and adventurous composer for the stage.
Within the extraordinary variety of Salieri's approaches to musical
dramaturgy, Rice identifies certain habits of orchestration,
melodic style, and form as distinctively "Salierian"; others are
typical of Viennese opera in general. A generous selection of
excerpts from Salieri's works, most previously unpublished, will
give readers a fuller appreciation for his musical style--and its
influence on Mozart--than was previously possible.
