Description

The music of early modern Naples and its renowned artistic traditions remain a fruitful area for scholars in eighteenth-century studies. Contemporary social, political, and artistic conditions had stimulated a significant growth of music, musicians and culture in the Kingdom of Naples from the beginning of the seventeenth century. Although eighteenth-century Neapolitan opera is well documented in scholarship, historians have paid much less attention to the simultaneous cultivation of instrumental genres. Yet the culture of instrumental music grew steadily and by its end became an exclusive area of focus for the royal court, a remarkable departure from past norms of patronage. By bridging this gap, Anthony R. DelDonna brings together diverse fields, including historical musicology, music theory, Neapolitan and European history. His book investigates the wide-ranging role of instrumental genres within late eighteenth-century Neapolitan culture and introduces readers to new material, including recently discovered instrumental works of Paisiello, Cimarosa and Pleyel. Book Description Demonstrates the cultivation and interest in instrumental genres by Neapolitan musicians and its significant stature at the royal court. About the Author Anthony R. DelDonna, Ph.D. is Professor of Musicology and Director of the Music Program at Georgetown University, Washington DC. His research focuses on stage drama, instrumental music, archival studies, and ballet in early modern Italy and appears in The Journal of Musicology, Acta Musicologica, Quaderni d'Italianistica, Eighteenth-Century Studies, Early Music, Eighteenth-Century Music, Recercare, and Studi musicali. DelDonna is the author of the monograph Opera, Theatrical Culture and Society in Late Eighteenth-Century Naples (2012) and co-editor of The Cambridge Companion to Eighteenth-Century Opera with Pierpaolo Polzonetti (2009).
