Mozart, Haydn and Early Beethoven : 1781–1802.

Completing the trilogy begun with Haydn, Mozart and the Viennese School, 1740-1780 and continued in Music in European Capitals: The Galant Style, 1720-1780, Daniel Heartz concludes his extensive chronicle of the Classical Era with this much-anticipated third volume. In this volume, Heartz winds up the careers of Haydn and Mozart (who during the 1780s produced their most famous and greatest works) and describes Beethoven's first decade in Vienna. The tumult and instability of the French Revolution serves as a vivid historical backdrop for the tale. With a preface, list of works cited, and index. Two appendices. Figures.
