ASCAPDeems Taylor Award winnerA fresh look at the life of Mozart during his imperial years by one of the world's leading Mozart scholars. 'I now stand at the gateway to my fortune,' Mozart wrote in a letter of 1790. He had entered into the service of Emperor Joseph II of Austria two years earlier as ImperialRoyal Chamber Composera salaried appointment with a distinguished title and few obligations. His extraordinary subsequent output, beginning with the three final great symphonies from the summer of 1788, invites a reassessment of this entire period of his life. Readers will gain a new appreciation and understanding of the composer's works from that time without the usual emphasis on his imminent death. The author discusses the major biographical and musical implications of the royal appointment and explores Mozart's 'imperial style' on the basis of his major compositionskeyboard,chamber, orchestral, operatic, and sacredand focuses on the large, unfamiliar works he left incomplete. This new perspective points to an energetic, fresh beginning for the composer and a promising creative and financial future. 8 pages of illustrations
