He demonstrates the enormous diversity and constant change that characterized every aspect of music during this period. By dividing his text into twenty-year spans, Downs is able to trace the development of musical style. Within each span he looks at the social conditions and daily life of the musician, and the aesthetics and audience preferences in structures, performing combinations and styles. The lesser composers, or Kleinmeister, are observed, since they are the most accurate mirrors of their times. Haydn, Mozart and Beethoven receive full biographical scrutiny at each stage of their development. Copious music examples and abundant illustrations are also provided.

Dr Whitwell's studies of Mozart began with his Ph.D. dissertation (1963) on the early symphonies of Mozart, which included an extensive study of pre-Classical composers and the early development of the sonata form. He was employed by Universal Edition in Vienna in 1968 to help prepare their Urtext edition of the first seven Mozart sonatas. He held private discussions at this time with Christa Landon, a Schubert authority; Alexander Weinmann in Vienna, the authority on early Viennese music prints; Ludwig Finscher, the authority on the Classical string quartet; and Françoise Lesure, Director of the Music Division of the National Library of Paris. While living in Vienna in 1968 Dr. Whitwell was credited as the discoverer of the vast body of eighteenth-century Harmoniemusik repertoire for eight winds, introducing this music with members of several professional octets, including those from the Stuttgart Radio Orchestra, the Vienna Symphony, the Brabant Orchestra, as well as the National Orchestra of Peru in Lima, and the Los Angeles Philharmonic. Dr. Whitwell has given workshops on Mozart performance practice at the Royal College of Music in London, the Conservatory of Music in Milano, in addition to clinics in Korea, Taiwan, Portugal, Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Hungary, Belgium and Spain. He has given a public address on Mozart's K. 375 at the University of Wisconsin and public lectures in Boston and in Buenos Aires, Argentina. He was the master teacher for a Chamber Music Festival in Santa Fe dedicated to the performance of Mozart's music. David Whitwell has authored articles on Mozart manuscripts in leading journals, including Music & Letters, the Mozart Jahrbuch and the London Musical Times, which concerned the date of K. 361 and which was honored by its inclusion in the Garland Library of the History of Western Music, a 1985 collection of the most outstanding articles of musicology. Whitwell's work on the ''Gran Partita, '' K. 361, is acknowledged in the preface of the Library of Congress' publication of the facsimile of the autograph score (1976). He is credited with having discovered the proof that this partita has always been one single work and not two separate works, as suspected by many earlier scholars, and for discovering the measure to be omitted before the coda of the ''Romance'' movement. This book discusses the basic idioms of central European performance in the music of the late Baroque through early Beethoven, which Dr. Whitwell considers fundamental to proper stylistic performance of Mozart's music.

'A glorious plum-pudding of a book, to be consulted, with pleasure and profit, over and over again' Sir Jeremy Isaacs Michael Steen's 'Great Composers' was originally published in 2003. A lifetime's work and almost 1000 pages long, it has since become 'the' reference point and key read on the biographical backgrounds to classical music's biggest names. Authoritative and hugely detailed - but nonetheless a joy to read - this new edition will expand its readership further and capitalise on a newfound popular interest in classical music. Steen's book helps you explore the story of Bach, the respectable burgher much of whose vast output was composed amidst petty turf disputes in Lutheran Leipzig; or the ugly, argumentative Beethoven in French-occupied Vienna, obsessed by his laundry; or Mozart, the over-exploited infant prodigy whose untimely death was shrouded in rumour. Read about Verdi, who composed against the background of the Italian Risorgimento; or about the family life of the Wagners; and, Brahms, who rose from the slums of Hamburg to become a devotee of beer and coffee in fin-de-siecle Vienna, a cultural capital bent on destroying Mahler ... and much, much more.

During Beethoven s darkest times, when he stumbled about the streets of Vienna like a ragged madman, people thought his career was over. Many of his friends and patrons had died. He no longer seemed to be producing music except for a few trivial pieces. >But appearances were wrong. He was creating what is generally regarded as his greatest single work. Known as the Ninth Symphony, it is much more difficult and massive than any of the preceding eight. But Beethoven was aware that the people of Vienna thought he was crazy. He was afraid his symphony would be rejected. Making things even worse, there had only been time for two rehearsals. By this time he was totally deaf and could not hear how well the musicians performed. On May 7, 1824, Beethoven conducted the Ninth Symphony for its premiere performance in Vienna. When the last notes of the magnificent final movement came to an end, Beethoven stood on the stage with his back to the audience. One of the singers gently turned him around so that he could see the audience. The applause was thunderous. Everyone was standing and cheering. Nearly 180 years later, Beethoven s works are still enjoyed by music lovers all over the world. On January 12, 2003, the Ninth Symphony was added to the Memory of the World register so that the compositions of Vienna s mad genius will live on forever.

The ten essays in this volume explore different aspects of the performance of instrumental works by Beethoven. Each essay discusses performance issues from Beethoven's time to the present, whether the objective be to realise a performance in an historically appropriate manner, to elucidate the interpretation of Beethoven's music by conductors and performers, to clarify transcriptions by editors or to reconstruct the experience of the listener in various different periods. Four contributions focus on the piano music while another group concentrates on Beethoven's music for strings. These chapters are complemented by an examination of Beethoven's exploitation of the developing wind choir, an evaluation of early twentieth-century recordings as pointers to early nineteenth-century performance practice and an historical survey of rescorings in Beethoven's symphonies.

The two-volume Oxford Handbook of Music Performance provides a resource that musicians, scholars and educators will use as the most important and authoritative overview of work within the areas of music psychology and performance science. The 80 experts from 13 countries who prepared the 53 chapters in this handbook are leaders in the fields of music psychology, performance science, musicology, psychology, education and music education. Chapters in the Handbook provide a broad coverage of the area with considerable expansion of the topics that are normally covered in a resource of this type. Designed around eight distinct sections - Development and Learning, Proficiencies, Performance Practices, Psychology, Enhancements, Health & Wellbeing, Science, and Innovations - the range and scope of The Oxford Handbook of Music Performance is much wider than other publications through the inclusion of chapters from related disciplines such as performance science (e.g., optimizing performance, mental techniques, talent development in non-music areas), and education (e.g., human development, motivation, learning and teaching styles) as well as the attention given to emerging critical issues in the field (e.g., wellbeing, technology, gender, diversity, inclusion, identity, resilience and buoyancy, diseases, and physical and mental disabilities). Within each chapter, authors have selected what they consider to be the most important scientific and artistic material relevant to their topic. They begin their chapters by surveying theoretical views on each topic and then, in the final part of the chapter, highlight practical implications of the literature that performers will be able to apply within their daily musical lives.
