Haydn is enjoying renewed appreciation as one of the towering
figures of Western music history. This lively collection builds
upon this resurgence of interest, with chapters exploring the
nature of Haydn's invention and the cultural forces that he both
absorbed and helped to shape and express. The volume addresses
Haydn's celebrated instrumental pieces, the epoch-making Creation
and many lesser-known but superb vocal works including the Masses,
the English canzonettas and Scottish songs and the operas L'isola
disabitata and L'anima del filosofo. Topics range from Haydn's
rondo forms to his violin fingerings, from his interpretation of
the Credo to his reading of Ovid's Metamorphoses, from his
involvement with national music to his influence on the emerging
concept of the musical work. Haydn emerges as an engaged artist in
every sense of the term, as remarkable for his critical response to
the world around him as for his innovations in musical composition.
