Felice Giardini and Professional Music Culture in
Mid-Eighteenth-Century London explores Giardini's influence on
British musical life through his multifaceted career as performer,
teacher, composer, concert promoter and opera impresario. The crux
of the study is a detailed account of Giardini's partnership with
the music seller/publisher John Cox during the 1750s, presented
using new biographical information which contextualizes their
business dealings and subsequent disaccord. The resulting
litigation, the details of which have only recently come to light,
is explored here via a complex set of archival materials. The
findings offer new information about the economics of professional
music culture at the time, including detailed figures for
performers' fees, the printing and binding of music scores, the
charges arising from the administration of concerts and operas, the
sale, hire and repair of various instruments and the cost of what
today we would call intellectual property rights. This is a
fascinating study for musicologists and followers of Giardini, as
well as for readers with an interest in classical music, social
history and legal history.
