Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This compelling study explores the profound relationship between poetry and music in the life and work of literary giant Johann Wolfgang von Goethe. The author traces Goethe's lifelong fascination with music, from his early experiences as a young man immersed in the folk songs and ballads of his native Germany to his later encounters with the great composers of his time, including Mozart and Beethoven. The book examines how Goethe's passion for music influenced his writing, inspiring him to create some of the most lyrical and musical verses in the German language. Through detailed analysis of Goethe's poems and his collaborations with composers, the author uncovers the ways in which music shaped Goethe's poetic imagination and enriched his understanding of human emotion. Ultimately, this book sheds new light on the enduring power of Goethe's work and its continuing relevance to our understanding of the human condition.

The work is noted for its interdisciplinary approach, connecting musical developments with the literary and cultural conventions of Renaissance Italy. The book moves beyond a simple chronological history to explain why opera adopted its specific formal ingredients. Literary Foundations: Sternfeld emphasizes the critical role of poets like Poliziano, Tasso, Guarini, and Rinuccini in shaping operatic structure. The Orpheus Myth: A central focus is the enduring appeal of the Orpheus legend, which Sternfeld explores from its roots in ancient Greece through its 17th-century realisations by Peri and Monteverdi, and even into modern versions by Stravinsky. Formal Conventions: The author examines how the genre solved dramatic problems, such as the requirement for a "happy ending" (the finale) and its necessary foil, the expressive solo lament. Evolution of the Intermedi: The text explores the intermedi - elaborate musical interludes performed between acts of plays - as the primary structural ancestors of early opera. Written by a leading musicologist and Reader in the History of Music at the University of Oxford, the book is considered a standard reference for scholars of early modern music. Scholarly Impact: According to Choice, scholars with a foundational knowledge of opera's origins will find this to be a study that offers "genuine enlightenment" regarding the importance of convention. Critical Evaluation: Reviewers in journals like Renaissance Quarterly and Music and Letters have noted that the work is a testament to Sternfeld's deep scholarship. It is praised for bridging the gap between the birth of the genre and its enduring essence, frequently relating early 17th-century innovations to later works by Gluck, Mozart, and Verdi.
