An original study of the history of the symphony in Vienna during
Beethoven's lifetime, this 2006 book explores the context in which
the composer worked. Based on an extensive study of the wider
symphonic repertoire of the period and of the characteristics of
musical life that shaped the changing fortunes of the genre, from
manuscript and printed dissemination to concert life, David Wyn
Jones provides a multi-faceted account of the development of the
symphony in one of the most crucial periods in its history. The
volume offers a wide perspective on musical development in the
period, and will be of interest to musicologists and cultural
historians. As well as dealing with unfamiliar works by Czerny,
Eberl, Krommer, Reicha, Anton Wranitzky, Paul Wranitzky and others,
it charts the changing reception of the symphonies of Haydn and
Mozart, and offers insights into the symphonic careers of Beethoven
and Schubert.
