图书简介：
两百多年来，约瑟夫·海顿时而被推崇，时而被歪曲，要么被奉为名人，要么被贬低为仅仅是先行者或参照人物。然而，与许多其他依教规的作曲家不同的是，他的音乐从他的时代到我们的时代一直都是固定的保留曲目。为了理解海顿和他的音乐，我们现在需要知道什么？这本内容丰富的百科全书共收录了80多篇文章，重点介绍了海顿的思想，以及融汇了海顿思想的七篇篇幅较长的专题论文，为读者提供了一个研究海顿的全新的视角，以及大量文化背景知识，海顿在这个文化背景下创作曲目并在启蒙运动时期及其以后留下了不可磨灭的印记。这本与众不同的百科全书收录了来自欧洲、美洲和大洋洲的六十七位学者和艺术家的文稿，捕捉到了当今海顿研究的活力——充斥着各种各样的观点和方法——并最终激发了人们对海顿的进一步探索，海顿是西方音乐最具创新性和影响力的作曲家之一。
For well over two hundred years, Joseph Haydn has been by turns lionized and misrepresented - held up as celebrity, and disparaged as mere forerunner or point of comparison. And yet, unlike many other canonic composers, his music has remained a fixture in the repertoire from his day until ours. What do we need to know now in order to understand Haydn and his music? With over eighty entries focused on ideas and seven longer thematic essays to bring these together, this richly-illustrated encyclopedia offers a new perspective on Haydn and the many cultural contexts in which he worked and left his indelible mark during the Enlightenment and beyond. With contributions from sixty-seven scholars and performers in Europe, the Americas, and Oceania, this distinctive encyclopedia captures the vitality of Haydn studies today - its variety of perspectives and methods - and ultimately inspires further exploration of one of western music's most innovative and influential composers.
