John Rice's Music in the Eighteenth Century takes the reader on an
engrossing Grand Tour of Europe's musical centers, from Naples, to
London, Berlin, Vienna, Prague, and St. Petersburg with a side trip
to the colonial New World. Against the backdrop of Europe's largely
peaceful division into Catholic and Protestant realms, Rice shows
how "learned" and "galant" styles developed and commingled. While
considering Mozart, Haydn, and early Beethoven in depth, he
broadens his focus to assess the contributions of lesser-known but
significant figures like Johann Adam Hiller, Francois-Andre
Philidor, and Anna Bon. Western Music in Context: A Norton History
comprises six volumes of moderate length, each written in an
engaging style by a recognized expert. Authoritative and current,
the series examines music in the broadest sense as sounds notated,
performed, and heard focusing not only on composers and works, but
also on broader social and intellectual currents."
