Books by Julian (West Riding Professor of Music Rushton

One of the best known figures in European music was Wolfgang Amade Mozart. His short but colorful life is of enduring interest, and his works remain central to the repertories of classical music. This book gives an account of Mozart's activities as a composer of operas. It includes a biography, orientated towards the operas; and more.

The Music of Berlioz offers an overall view of Berlioz's musical achievement as we approach the bicentary of his birth in 2003, and in doing so is the first such study to deal fully with the rediscovered Messe solennelle. It synthesizes previous scholarship, including the author's own, adding many new observations, together with information and insight into all the composer's works.
