More about the book

Focusing on the contextual identity of Mozart's piano sonatas, this study by John Irving explores their meanings and interpretations beyond the written scores. It emphasizes the provisional nature of the notated texts, suggesting they represent possibilities rather than fixed identities. The book delves into reception history, analytical methods, and historical performance practices, treating the sonatas as a cohesive repertoire. Key themes include the role of historical writing, pedagogical traditions, and the importance of sound over sight, highlighting the performer's creative influence in interpreting these works.
