Exhibit Celebrates Mozart
In celebration of the 250th anniversary of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart's birth, the Northwestern University Music Library presents an exhibit of selected Mozart facsimiles from the library's collection. These detailed reproductions of the original manuscripts offer a glimpse of Mozart's creative process. While some facsimiles confirm his reputation for making relatively few corrections while composing, other examples include revisions that indicate Mozart's careful shaping of thematic material and form. Featured are facsimiles of the "Jupiter" and "Haffner" symphonies as well as concertos, string quartets, sonatas, and other works.
Located in the Music Library lobby on the second level of Deering Library, this exhibit will be in place through December 2006.
