5.0 out of 5 stars
A sheet of paper tells 1,000 stories in the hands of Tyson,
By A Customer
This review is from: Mozart: Studies of the Autograph Scores (Paperback)
One might assume that the study of watermarks on 18th century music paper and how its staves were ruled would be technical and boring. They aren't boring at all in the hands of Prof. Alan Tyson. Through painstaking analysis of the kinds of paper Mozart used, Tyson is able to do some fascinating detective work--including the redating of several works, and the finding that Mozart's Horn Concerto in D (K. 412) was not even completed by him, but was finished after his death by his pupil Suessmayr! Tyson also recovers some "lost" music from Mozart's opera "Cosi fan tutte" and the ending of the Rondo for Piano and Orchestra, K. 386.These wonders are presented in writing that is sober enough to be credible, but is never dull. Anyone who loves Mozart's music will find a treasury of fascinating new finds and information in this book.

All you need to know about Mozart works!,
By Borut Lunder (Ljubljana Slovenia) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Mozart: Studies of the Autograph Scores (Paperback)
Alan Tyson is an author who contributed the major part after L.Koechel in understanding of Mozart's way of work and chronology. If you know at least 5 Mozart's works and you like Mozartkugeln then this book is a right choice for you. You won't regret!
