Book Synopsis Keyboard Instruments in Eighteenth-century Vienna by : C. R. F. Maunder
Download or read book Keyboard Instruments in Eighteenth-century Vienna written by C. R. F. Maunder. This book was released on 1998. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although eighteenth-century Viennese keyboard music, especially by such composers as Haydn, Mozart, and Beethoven, is among the most popular ever written, there has been surprisingly little serious research into the instruments for which it was composed. This book fills that gap. Based on evidence from primary source material, much of it previously undiscovered or neglected, Maunder traces the history and development of the various keyboard instruments available in Vienna throughout the eighteenth century--harpsichords, clavichords, and pianos--and their use by composers and performers.

Book Synopsis The Keyboard Sonatas of Domenico Scarlatti and Eighteenth-Century Musical Style by : W. Dean Sutcliffe
Download or read book The Keyboard Sonatas of Domenico Scarlatti and Eighteenth-Century Musical Style written by W. Dean Sutcliffe. This book was released on 2008-08-28. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: W. Dean Sutcliffe investigates one of the greatest yet least understood repertories of Western keyboard music: the 555 keyboard sonatas of Domenico Scarlatti. Scarlatti occupies a position of solitary splendour in musical history. The sources of his style are often obscure and his immediate influence is difficult to discern. Further, the lack of hard documentary evidence has hindered musicological activity. Dr Sutcliffe offers not just a thorough reconsideration of the historical factors that have contributed to Scarlatti's position, but also sustained engagement with the music, offering both individual readings and broader commentary of an unprecedented kind. A principal task of this book is to remove the composer from his critical ghetto (however honourable) and redefine his image. In so doing it will reflect on the historiographical difficulties involved in understanding eighteenth-century musical style.
