This book challenges the assumption that Franz Schubert
(1797-1828), best known for the lyricism of his songs, symphonies
and chamber music, lacked comparable talent for drama. It is
commonly assumed that Franz Schubert (1797-1828), best known for
the lyricism of his songs, symphonies, and chamber music, lacked
comparable talent for drama. Challenging this view, Drama in the
Music of Franz Schubert provides a timely re-evaluation of
Schubert's operatic works, while demonstrating previously
unsuspected locations of dramatic innovation in his vocal and
instrumental music. The volume draws on a range of critical
approaches and techniques, including semiotics, topic theory,
literary criticism, narratology, and Schenkerian analysis, to
situate Schubertian drama within its musical and
cultural-historical context. In so doing, the study broadens the
boundaries of what might be considered 'dramatic' within the
composer's music and offers new perspectives for its analysis and
interpretation. Drama in the Music of Franz Schubert will be of
interest to musicologists, music theorists, composers, and
performers, as well as scholars working in cultural studies,
theatre, and aesthetics. JOE DAVIES is College Lecturer in Music at
Lady Margaret Hall, University of Oxford. JAMES WILLIAM SOBASKIE is
Associate Professor of Music at Mississippi State University.
