The eighteenth century arguably boasts a more remarkable group of
significant musical figures, and a more engaging combination of
genres, styles and aesthetic orientations, than any century before
or since, yet huge swathes of its musical activity remain
under-appreciated. The Cambridge History of Eighteenth-Century
Music provides a comprehensive survey, examining little-known
repertories, works and musical trends alongside more familiar ones.
Rather than relying on temporal, periodic and composer-related
phenomena to structure the volume, it is organised by genre;
chapters are grouped according to the traditional distinctions of
music for the church, music for the theatre and music for the
concert room that conditioned so much thinking, activity and output
in the eighteenth century. A valuable summation of current research
in this area, the volume also encourages readers to think of
eighteenth-century music less in terms of overtly teleological
developments than of interacting and mutually stimulating musical
cultures and practices.
