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 Iphigénie 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 Entführung 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. 606 $aMusic$zGermany$y18th century$xHistory and criticism 606 $aMusic$zAustria$y18th century$xHistory and criticism 606 $aEnlightenment 606 $aMusic$y18th century$xPhilosophy and aesthetics 606 $aMusic and literature$xHistory$y18th century 615 0$aMusic$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aMusic$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aEnlightenment. 615 0$aMusic$xPhilosophy and aesthetics. 615 0$aMusic and literature$xHistory 676 $a780.94309033 700 $aKramer$b Richard$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0140080 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910136125803321 996 $aCherubino's Leap$92188670 997 $aUNINA
