Book Description
Cosi fan tutte is widely regarded as Mozart’s most enigmatic opera with Lorenzo Da Ponte’s most erudite text. Edmund Goehring presents a new perspective on the relationships between text and tone in the opera, the tension between comedy and philosophy as well as its representation in stage works, and the pastoral mode. Goehring’s argument is sustained by the detailed analysis of primary sources (many of which are little known), and is richly illustrated with musical examples.
