Omschrijving
Examines the life and compositional oeuvre of prolific eighteenth century musician, composer, and singer Marianna Martines (1744-1813).
Breaks new ground. . . . The ample provision of examples (from works not necessarily easily accessible to most readers) together with Godt's thorough sifting of the archival sources have created a satisfying account of a noteworthy figure. . . now deservedly restored to a . . . prominent place on the historical scene. . . . A welcome contribution to the history of music in eighteenth-century Vienna. . . . An unusual woman who may well have influenced her male contemporaries, as well as being influenced by them.
Solidly researched and hitherto unpublished or little-known empirical documentation. . . . Offers for the first time a full record of Martines's works. . . . Emphatically refut[es] the nineteenth-century view . . . that disregarded Martines's compositional achievements. . . . Will undoubtedly appeal to a wide readership among scholars of eighteenth-century studies.
Makes a strong case for Martines's creativity as a composer in the galant style. The strengths of this volume result from Rice's significant editing as well as from the pioneering research by the late Godt. SUMMING UP: Highly recommended. Upper-division undergraduates and above.
Godt and Rice's volume . . . sets new standards [for books on women composers] by rejecting any vestige of special pleading, and by including such an abundance of substantial musical extracts as to entrust Martines's reputation to the judgement of its readers. . . . Rice's contribution enriches the book considerably.
Marianna Martines's excellence as a composer has, until now, been unsuspected. Irving Godt left no stone unturned in his research about Martines's life and works. The well-chosen musical examples give the music world for the first time an opportunity to become aware of the high quality and appeal of Martines's work. Through quotations from letters, journals, and travelers' accounts, we see how an eighteenth-century aristocratic woman could, thanks in part to a prominent mentor [here, the court poet Metastasio], achieve a significant international reputation.
