For the Enlightenment mind, from Moses Mendelssohn's focus on the
moment of surprise at the heart of the work of art to Herder's
imagining of the seismic moment at which language was discovered,
it is the flash of recognition that nails the essence of the work,
the blink of an eye in which one's world changes. In Cherubino's
Leap, Richard Kramer unmasks such prismatic moments in a range of
iconic instrumental works by Emanuel Bach, Haydn, and Mozart; in
the musical engagement with the formidable odes of Friedrich
Klopstock; and, on the grand stage of opera, at the intense moment
of recognition in Gluck's Iphigenie en Tauride and the exquisitely
introverted phrase that complicates Cherubino's daring escape in
Mozart's Figaro. Finally, the tears of the disconsolate Konstanze
in Mozart's Entf hrung inspire a reflection on the tragic aspect of
the composer's operatic women. Other players from literature and
the arts Diderot, Goethe, Lessing among them enrich the landscape
of this journey through the Enlightenment imagination.
