Bertil H. Van Boer : Dramatic Cohesion in the Music of Joseph Martin Kraus: From Sacred Music to Symphonic Form (Studies in the History and Interpretation of Music)
Product Description
Joseph Martin Kraus (1756-1792), Kappellmeister to Gustavus III of Sweden, developed a musical style which embodied the application of Sturm und Drang principles to his works. The author of this study seeks to prove how this style infiltrated many of Kraus's other musical endeavours, creating pieces that were favourably compared to Mozart's and were far ahead of their time in technique.
