Haydn and Mozart in the Long Nineteenth Century

Simon P. Keefe is James Rossiter Hoyle Chair of Music at the University of Sheffield and a life member of the Academy for Mozart Research at the International Mozart Foundation in Salzburg. He is the author of four previous books on Mozart, including Mozart's Requiem: Reception, Work, Completion (Cambridge, 2012), which won the 2013 Marjorie Weston Emerson Award, and a major musical biography Mozart in Vienna: the Final Decade (Cambridge, 2017), and editor of a further seven volumes for Cambridge University Press, including Mozart Studies, Mozart Studies 2 and Mozart in Context.

“This enlightening volume mines an astonishing array of source materials to trace the intertwining legacies of Haydn and Mozart from the 1790s to 1914. The vast trove of information assembled here, all meticulously organized and elegantly explained, uncovers converging and diverging reception histories. Its commanding narrative provides a compelling and most welcome reinterpretation of Haydn's legacy alongside Mozart's that will surely influence generations to come.” Caryl Clark, Professor of Music, University of Toronto
