Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the creation of Christoph Willibald Gluck's opera "Iphigenie in Aulis." The story of Iphigenie is based on the Greek myth of a young woman sacrificed by her father, Agamemnon, to the goddess Artemis in exchange for favorable winds for his fleet. The author traces the development of Gluck's musical ideas in this work, from their origins in his earlier Italian operas to the revolutionary reforms he introduced in "Iphigenie." The author shows how Gluck's focus on dramatic truth and emotional expression led him to create a new kind of opera that broke away from the conventions of the time. Through a close examination of the opera's music and libretto, the book reveals the depth of Gluck's musical genius and his profound understanding of human nature.
