This collection of reprinted essays starts from the author's
doctoral research on Jacopo Peri and the rise of opera and solo
song in late sixteenth- and early seventeenth-century Florence. It
extends to broader issues concerning music and patronage in the
city as they affected individual composers, patrons and
institutions, and thence to the commerce of music printing and the
book trade. It concludes with an attempt to suggest a broader view
of these various issues as they impact upon musical life in the
'provinces' in Tuscany. There is a great deal of new documentary
and other information here, but the aim is also to expand
methodological horizons so as to prompt new ways of thinking about
music in its contexts.
