Ever since the nineteenth century, descriptions of musical form
have tended to rely heavily on architectonic analogies. In
contrast, earlier discussions more often invoked the metaphor of a
journey to describe the structure of a composition. In Journeys
Through Galant Expositions, author L. Poundie Burstein encourages
readers to view the form of Galant music through this earlier
metaphorical lens, much as those who composed, performed,
improvised, and listened to music in the mid-1700s would have
experienced it. By elucidating eighteenth-century ideas regarding
musical form and applying them to works by a wide range of
composers - including Haydn and Mozart, as well as a host of others
who are often overlooked - this innovative study provides an
accessible new window into the music of this time. Rather than
dissecting concepts from the 1700s as a mere historical exercise or
treating them as a precursor of later theories, Burstein
invigorates the ideas of theorists such as Heinrich Christoph Koch
and shows how they can directly impact our understanding and
appreciation of Galant music as audiences and performers.
