His life and work continue to fascinate scholars, performers, and music lovers alike. \u003ci\u003eMozart and His World\u003c\/i\u003e brings original perspectives to perennially popular topics in Mozart studies. Through wide-ranging essays that address interpretive, biographical, and contextual themes, the volume simultaneously widens and refines our view of Mozart's oeuvre.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eMozart and His World\u003c\/i\u003e moves from studies of instrumental music and musicians to the interpretation and reception of Mozart's operas, and finally to primary sources from the decade or so after Mozart's death. Across original chapters and several archival documents, \u003ci\u003eMozart and His World\u003c\/i\u003e points new ways forward in key areas of Mozart scholarship, including the study of intellectual and stylistic ideas informing his works and of musicians and institutions within his orbit. While the volume reshapes our understanding of some of Mozart's best-loved works, including \u003ci\u003eThe Magic Flute\u003c\/i\u003e and his other operas, it also probes works that have received less attention, such as his early string quartets, an opera parody, and wind-music culture and arrangements.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Simon P.
