Although a well-connected music teacher by profession, Charles
Burney (1726 1814) gained greatest recognition for his writings on
music. First published in 1771, this work recounts the 1770 journey
that Burney undertook as one of two research trips for his General
History of Music (1776 89). Eager to meet key composers of the day
and to hear the latest music, Burney arrived in Paris in mid-June,
soon moving on to Italy, where he spent the majority of his time.
Naples, long a centre of musical excellence and then the focus of
the new galant style, received particular attention. The whole
account provides an invaluable first-hand insight into European
musical life in the eighteenth century. Burney's General History
and the record of his second tour, The Present State of Music in
Germany, the Netherlands, and United Provinces (second edition,
1775), are also reissued in this series."
