Reviews
There is no doubt that this book represents a consideable scholarly achievement. It brings about a thorough 'defamiliarization' of the 'Italian' Symphony, both through the revelation of a great number of new details concerning its festation and chronology, and through the wide array of new interpretative perspectives that John Michael Cooper opens up, especially on programmatic aspects and the work's 'Italian-ness'.... All in all, this new book is indispensable to anyone with a serious interest in Mendelssohn and is strongly recommended. --Music and Letters
