A high-ranking official in the Imperial War Office in Vienna,
Raphael Georg Kiesewetter (1773-1850) is better known for his
musicological activities. An accomplished amateur musician, he
studied with Albrechtsberger, hosted private concerts of early
music, and was closely involved in the affairs of Vienna's Society
of the Friends of Music. His important collection of scores is now
in the Austrian National Library. He also wrote a number of books
and articles, including a pioneering study of Arabic music which
was the first to use original sources, owing to the assistance of
orientalist Joseph von Hammer-Purgstall. Originally published in
German in 1834 and reissued here in its 1848 English translation,
the present work is considered Kiesewetter's most significant and
remains accessible to the general reader. Based on an evolutionary
approach influenced by the Enlightenment, the book presents
seventeen epochs which are named after their most characteristic
composers.
