Sociability may be a key term of reference for eighteenth-century
studies as a whole, but it has not yet developed an especially
strong profile in music scholarship. Many of the associations that
it brings do not fit comfortably with a later imperative of
individual expression. W. Dean Sutcliffe invites us to face up to
the challenge of re-evaluating the communicative rationales that
lie behind later eighteenth-century instrumental style. Taking a
behavioural perspective, he divides sociability into 'technical'
and 'affective' realms, involving close attention both to
particular recurring musical patterns as well as to some of the
style's most salient expressive attributes. The book addresses a
broad span of the instrumental production of the era, with Haydn as
the pivotal figure. Close readings of a variety of works are
embedded in an encompassing consideration of the reception of this
music.
