Often taken for granted or treated as a filler by audiences and critics, these interludes can take on very prominent roles, representing dream sequences, journeys and sexual encounters. Combining studies of individual musical texts with an investigation of the critical discourse surrounding the operas, Christopher Morris investigates the implications of these important but strangely overlooked passages.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51943628636448,"sku":"NEW0521807387","price":50.96,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/reading-opera-between-the-lines-orchestral-interludes-and-cultural-meaning-from-wagner-to-berg-new-perspectives-in-music-history-and-criticism-series-number-8-0521807387","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
