The Music Trade in Georgian England (Hardcover, New Ed)

In contrast to today's music industry, whose principal products are
recorded songs sold to customers round the world, the music trade
in Georgian England was based upon London firms that published and
sold printed music and manufactured and sold instruments on which
this music could be played. The destruction of business records and
other primary sources has hampered investigation of this trade, but
recent research into legal proceedings, apprenticeship registers,
surviving correspondence and other archived documentation has
enabled aspects of its workings to be reconstructed. The first part
of the book deals with Longman & Broderip, arguably the
foremost English music seller in the late eighteenth century, and
the firm's two successors - Broderip & Wilkinson and Muzio
Clementi's variously styled partnerships - who carried on after
Longman & Broderip's assets were divided in 1798. The next part
shows how a rival music seller, John Bland, and his successors,
used textual and thematic catalogues to advertise their
publications. This is followed by a comprehensive review of the
development of musical copyright in this period, a report of
efforts by a leading inventor, Charles 3rd Earl Stanhope, to
transform the ways in which music was printed and recorded, and a
study of Georg Jacob Vollweiler's endeavour to introduce music
lithography into England. The book should appeal not only to music
historians but also to readers interested in English business
history, publishing history and legal history between 1714 and
1830.
