Schoch's essays on Sondheim delve into the deeper meanings of his work, highlighting how themes such as growth, identity, and injustice can resonate with personal experiences and reflections.
By examining works like 'Merrily We Roll Along' and 'Sweeney Todd', Schoch presents Sondheim as not just a composer, but a guide for navigating life's complexities and moral dilemmas.
Sondheim's perspective—'theme and variation'—encourages audiences to embrace different viewpoints rather than simply following a linear narrative, inviting personal interpretation and emotional connection.
Drawing parallels to classic literature, the author aims to elucidate Sondheim's contributions to theater, prompting readers to reconsider the boundaries between art and personal development.
