Description

Explore the life of Gioachino Rossini through this detailed biography from Oxford University Press. As one of the most influential nineteenth-century composers, Rossini transformed Italian opera and changed the direction of opera in France. This book examines his massive output of 39 operas written between 1810 and 1829, covering both his comic and serious works. Go beyond the myth of the talented but lazy composer. This text investigates the real factors behind his 1829 retirement from operatic composition at age 37, including political events and debilitating illnesses. Part of the Master Musicians Series, this work provides a deep look into the man who drafted the Stabat Mater in 1832 and left a lasting mark on music history.
