Richard Kramer 
Cherubino’s Leap [EPUB ebook] 
In Search of the Enlightenment Moment

支持

For the Enlightenment mind, from Moses Mendelssohn’s focus on the moment of surprise at the heart of the work of art to Herder’s imagining of the seismic moment at which language was discovered, it is the flash of recognition that nails the essence of the work, the blink of an eye in which one’s world changes. In Cherubino s Leap, Richard Kramer unmasks such prismatic moments in iconic music from the Enlightenment, from the chromatic moment the single tone that disturbs the thrust of a diatonic musical discourse and its deployment in seminal instrumental works by Emanuel Bach, Haydn, and Mozart; on to the poetic moment, taking the odes of Klopstock, in their finely wrought prosody, as a challenge to the problem of strophic song; and finally to the grand stage of opera, to the intense moment of recognition in Gluck s Iphigenie en Tauride and the exquisitely introverted phrase that complicates Cherubino s daring moment of escape in Mozart s Figaro. Finally, the tears of the disconsolate Konstanze in Mozart s Die Entfuhrung aus dem Serail provoke a reflection on the tragic aspect of Mozart s operatic women. Throughout, other players from literature and the arts Diderot, Goethe, Lessing among them enrich the landscape of this bold journey through the Enlightenment imagination.
