Reviews
Morrison's book has become a standard reading-list item and the accepted starting point for the researches of a new generation of graduate students. Ideas that were striking and fresh [when first published] have become common currency-a tribute to the book's success. * Journal of the American Musicological Society * Morrison draws on an impressive array of sources and disciplines.... His use of contemporary secondary sources is particularly effective, given his interest in the culture of reception. * Slavic Review * A rewarding and valuable study not only because of its insight and richness but also because of the accompanying reproductions of musical scores. * Slavic & East European Journal * Ploughs new ground. . . . A fascinating study [and] a challenging mixture of literary and musical analysis. * Opera Journal * Worth investigation by anyone interested in the culture of this period or the composers discussed. * Times Literary Supplement *
