Aus der Bibliothek von Prof. Wolfgang Haase, langjährigem Herausgeber der ANRW und des International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT) / From the library of Prof. Wolfgang Haase, long-time editor of ANRW and the International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT). - leicht berieben, ansonsten tadelloser Zustand / slightly rubbed otherwise perfect condition - Preface -- This study on the development of verse forms suitable for German-language opera has its roots in two interdisciplinary courses I taught in the Literature, Science and the Arts Program at the University of Iowa. The first, "Opera as Drama," I team-taught with Professor Richard Hervig of the School of Music in 1980. The second, "Poetry and Song," I taught twice with Professor D. Martin Jenni, also of the School of Music, in the several years following the first course. In these team-taught courses I first confronted the issues of the relationships of the two media in vocal music, and I am very grateful to both Dick Hervig and Martin Jenni for their stimulating responses to my questions and challenges. -- This study is also a natural outgrowth of my long involvement with the dramatic works of Caspar Stieler, all of which employ vocal music to some extent. In that context, I first completed a study of early German opera libretti in the mid-1980s and published it as "Caspar Stieler and the German Singspiel," Chapter 7 in my book on that author: Scaramutza in Germany: The Dramatic Works of Caspar Stieler (Boston: Hall, 1989). The focus was on Stieler's works, and the conclusion was that Caspar Stieler, practically alone, had made the necessary breakthroughs in versification for recitative and aria.
