The universally acclaimed and award-winning Oxford History of
Western Music is the eminent musicologist Richard Taruskin's
provocative, erudite telling of the story of Western music from its
earliest days to the present. Each book in this superlative
five-volume set illuminates-through a representative sampling of
masterworks-the themes, styles, and currents that give shape and
direction to a significant period in the history of Western music.
Music in the Seventeenth and Eighteenth Centuries, the second
volume Richard Taruskin's monumental history, illuminates the
explosion of musical creativity that occurred in the seventeenth
and eighteenth centuries. Examining a wealth of topics, Taruskin
looks at the elegant masques and consort music of Jacobean England,
the Italian concerto style of Corelli and Vivaldi, and the
progression from Baroque to Rococo to romantic style. Perhaps most
important, he offers a fascinating account of the giants of this
period: Bach, Handel, Mozart, Haydn, and Beethoven. Laced with
brilliant observations, memorable musical analysis, and a panoramic
sense of the interactions between history, culture, politics, art,
literature, religion, and music, this book will be essential
reading for anyone who wishes to understand this rich and diverse
period.
