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.
