In this volume, Mozart's 22 operas are explored from four points of view: his life at the time each was written; the story, and the way it links with the music; the libretto and librettist, and Mozart's relations with his publishers; and the music itself, analyzed with examples from the score.

Ein Fremder verunglückt im dichten Nebel mit seinem Wagen und kommt auf der Suche nach Hilfe zu einem Haus, in dem offensichtlich gerade ein Mord geschehen ist. Er überrascht dort nämlich eine Frau bei ihrem toten Mann - eine Pistole in der Hand. Ist sie die Mörderin oder spricht nur der Augenschein gegen sie?

Richard Strauss, born in 1864, was one of the 20th century's greatest and most prolific opera composers. His third opera, Salome, introduced the single-act structure, and the sensuality of the mujsic caused a furore. This was followed by the equally shocking Elektra, written in collaboration with Hugo von Hofmannsthal, but they completely changed direction for their next joint venture, Der Rosenkavalier, in which the Viennese waltz found its apotheosis. Once considered a revolutionary, Richard Strauss is today seen as the last of the German romantic composers, and most of his operas are still performed regularly throughout the world.
