Mozart in the Antipodes, Adi Wimmer , single work criticism

'The purpose of this paper is not to discuss how Mozart is treated by the classical music industry and music aficionados of 'down under'. I lack the insight into these sections of Australian culture, and in any case my guess is that Mozart plays the same role in Sydney as in Vienna, New York or London. My aim is to engage with relevant literary responses to Mozart, mostly poetic ones, over a period of slightly more than a century - but that is half the white-settler history of Australia.' (p. 71)
