In exploring such themes, the authors not only illuminate new aspects of Mozart's operatic compositions, but also probe the nature of musical analysis itself.10aMozart, Wolfgang Amadeus,d1756-1791xCriticism and interpretation.10aDa Ponte, Lorenzo,d1749-1838xCriticism and interpretation. 0aOpera. 0aMusical analysis.1 aRushton, Julian.
