Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book takes readers through a journey of classical music and its development through the baroque period, focusing on the works of Christoph Willibald Gluck. Gluckâs innovative ideas and compositions challenged the traditional boundaries of opera, transforming the genre and leaving a lasting legacy in the musical world. The author explores Gluck's life and influences, analyzing his contributions to the development of opera and its impact on the history of music. The book delves into the ideas behind Gluck's operatic reforms, examining how he revolutionized the relationship between text and music, reduced the role of ornate vocal display, and emphasized dramatic truth. Through in-depth analysis of his major works, including Orfeo ed Euridice, Iphigà nie en Aulide, and Alceste, the author sheds light on Gluck's unique approach to musical storytelling.
