On Mozart
From the eighteenth century to our own- Mozart has remained one of the world's most inventive and popular composers. The essays in this collection examine Mozart and his art from psychological- historical- cultural- and aesthetic perspectives. They set Mozart- first- in the timeless ahistorical space reserved for individuals of spectacular creativity- then in his time- and finally in our own time. Most of the authors are not professional Mozart scholars or musicologists- but all are Mozart lovers. Each speaks of Mozart and his accomplishments from a particular position of expertise - as psychologist- historian- biographer- economist- musicologist- literary critic- film critic. These essays originated in a three-day symposium organized by the Woodrow Wilson Center in 1991 to observe the bicentennial of the composer's death. In nonspecialist language- they seek to draw out the human genius of Mozart from the divinely inspired Mozart of myth- who took his notes directly from God. They consider Mozart as prodigy- as working composer- as family member- as late-eighteenth-century man- and as an enduring cultural presence- whose significance has changed over the course of two centuries- but whose stature has only grown.
