Italienischen Opern Ferdinando Paërs: Studien Zur Introduktion und Zur Rondò-Arie.

Ferdinando Paër (1771–1839), one of the most celebrated and successful opera composers of the late 18th and early 19th centuries, quickly disappeared from the minds of the musical public after his death. In studies of music history his name is usually mentioned only in connection with Beethoven’s Fidelio (due to his composition of a Leonora based on the same French opéra-comique) or with Rossini’s rise and work in Paris (the two men jointly managed the Théâtre italien from 1824–1826), or else he is remembered as the composer of the Maître de chapelle, an opéra-comique which continued to be performed in Paris throughout the 19th century. This first full-length study of Paër’s work examines his Italian operas (1792–1816).
