Das Mozarteum: Geschichte und Entwicklung einer Kulturrellen Institution - Wagner, Karl 1935- (Innsbruck Edition Helbing, 1993)
Based on extensive source material, the author attempts to trace the tension between local frugality and utopian visions of the future, which proved to be a central impetus in the development of the Mozarteum. This is accompanied by a description of everyday life at the school. Karl Wagner devotes particular attention to the divisions that occurred when the school was transferred from one organisation to the next. Glances are directed at the musical environment, including popular music, and the biographies of all the teachers employed up to 1938, which are included in the appendix, show their origins, education and social status. An index of persons and a list of sources complete the publications, which, despite the necessary local references, should appeal to anyone interested in the development of institutionalised music education in Central Europe.
