Recenzii
'… a pioneering study of this neglected musician and patron … A warm and attractive portrait of the empress emerges from this study … Rice's is a model study of an enchanting subject.' Musical Times
'Empress Marie Therese and Music at the Viennese Court is an admiring and in places quietly moving account of the efforts of Marie Therese to surround herself and her court with music even as the system she helped to sustain was collapsing around her.' The Times Literary Supplement
'John A. Rice's excellent new study of the Empress Marie Therese (1792–1807) makes an important contribution to the growing body of scholarship on Vienna's musical culture. Rice's chosen scheme explicates his material thoroughly and raises issues that bear further scholarly consideration, while creating a highly readable portrait of an appealing and intriguing patron. Both Marie Therese and the scholarly community have been well served by his efforts.' Eighteenth-Century Music
'…devoted to filling in the extensive gaps in our knowledge of one of music's best-known periods … full of … fascinating details and of illuminating glances into some dark corners of Viennese musical life … raises some interesting issues about our changing musical standards and awareness …' Music and Letters
