| Abstract | A fascinating journey to rediscover the music of a composer who was lauded in his day, yet forgotten soon after. This book chronicles the author's thirty-year quest to locate, reconstruct, and perform the music of Johann Adolf Hasse, who along with his equally famous wife, mezzo-soprano Faustina Bordoni, had personal associations with Bach, Handel, Mozart, Haydn, and Gluck. |
