Covering all of his greatest Viennese works, and many others that are often marginalized, it highlights his remarkable ability to engage with the competing demands of singers and instrumentalists, publishing and public performance, and concerts and dramatic productions.

Giving particular prominence to primary sources, Simon P. Keefe offers new biographical and critical perspectives on the man and his music, highlighting his extraordinary ability to engage with the competing demands of singers and instrumentalists, publishing and public performance, and concerts and dramatic productions in the course of a hectic, diverse and financially uncertain freelance career.
