Book Description
This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1773 edition. Excerpt: ... THE INTRODUCTION. AMONG the numerous accounts of Italy, published by travellers who have visited that delightful country from different motives of interest or curiosity; it is somewhat extraordinary, that none have hitherto confined their views and researches to the rise and progress, or present state of music in that part of the world, where it has been cultivated with such success; and from whence the rest of Europe has been furnished, not only with the most eminent composers and performers, but even with all its ideas of whatever is elegant and refined in that art. Not a single picture, statue, or building has been left undefcribed, or an inscription B uncopied, uncopied, and yet the Confervas orios or musical schools, the Operas, or the Oratorios, have scarce been mentioned; and though every library is crowded with histories of painting and other arts, as well as with the lives of their most illustrious professors, music and musicians have been utterly neglected. And this is still the more unaccountable, as no one of the liberal arts is at present so much cultivated, and encouraged, nor can the Italians now boast a superiority over the rest of Europe in any of them so much as in music; for few of their painters, sculptors, architects, historians, poets, or philosophers of the present age, as in some centuries past, so greatly surpass their cotemporaries on this side the Alps, as to excite much curiosity to visit or converse with them. But music still lives in Italy, while most of the other arts only speak a dead language; classical and learned indeed, but less pleasing and profitable to slu& dents dents than in the days of Leo X. when Italy was as superior to the rest of the world, and therefore as well worth visiting, as Greece was..

Music in the Classical World
Author: Bertil van Boer
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 135138225X
Category : Music
Languages : en
Pages : 552
Book Description
Music in the Classical World: Genre, Culture, and History provides a broad sociocultural and historical perspective of the music of the Classical Period as it relates to the world in which it was created. It establishes a background on the time span—1725 to 1815—offering a context for the music made during one of the more vibrant periods of achievement in history. Outlining how music interacted with society, politics, and the arts of that time, this kaleidescopic approach presents an overview of how the various genres expanded during the period, not just in the major musical centers but around the globe. Contemporaneous treatises and commentary documenting these changes are integrated into the narrative. Features include the following: A complete course with musical scores on the companion website, plus links to recordings—and no need to purchase a separate anthology The development of style and genres within a broader historical framework Extensive musical examples from a wide range of composers, considered in context of the genre A thorough collection of illustrations, iconography, and art relevant to the music of the age Source documents translated by the author Valuable student learning aids throughout, including a timeline, a register of people and dates, sidebars of political importance, and a selected reading list arranged by chapter and topic A companion website featuring scores of all music discussed in the text, recordings of most musical examples, and tips for listening Music in the Classical World: Genre, Culture, and History tells the story of classical music through eighteenth-century eyes, exposing readers to the wealth of music and musical styles of the time and providing a glimpse into that vibrant and active world of the Classical Period.
