Produktbeschreibung

This book presents an informative and stimulating study of an opera that occupies a particular place in music-lovers' affections, yet always has more to reveal. John Warrack traces the evolution of the work from plans for a light comic opera, through all the drafts and the literary influences on them, into the eventual comedy; he then studies the music in depth.
