Paperback / softback
Description
The music of Haydn, Mozart and Beethoven forms a cornerstone of the modern repertoire, but very little is known about the context in which these composers worked.
This volume of twelve essays by leading international scholars considers some of the musical traditions and practices of this little-understood period of music history.
Beginning with the early decades of the eighteenth century, the volume documents selected aspects of musical life and style from the late Baroque period through to the early years of the nineteenth century.
The four main areas covered in this exploration of music history are orchestral music, sacred music, opera and keyboard music.
Georg Reutter (Haydn's teacher), Antonio Salieri (Mozart's colleague) and Woelffl (a rival of Beethoven) are just three of the period's prominent musicians who are discussed at length.
