Carl S. Leafstedt (Assistant Assistant Professor of Music History

Inside Bluebeard's Castle

Music and Drama in Bela Bartok's Opera

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

The first full-length examination of Bartok's 1911 opera Duke Bluebeard's Castle, this is an authoritative study of one of the twentieth century's enduring operatic works. Leafstedt adopts a broad approach to the study of opera by introducing, in addition to the expected music-dramatic analysis, topics of a more interdisciplinary nature that are new to the field of Bartok studies.
