Description

Explore the musical landscape of eighteenth-century North-East England through the life of Charles Avison (1709-1770). This Routledge publication challenges the assumption that music-making outside of London was small-scale or behind the times. By focusing on Avison, a nationally recognized musician based in Newcastle upon Tyne, this work provides a reassessment of regional musical importance. The text examines how Avison's life and work reflect wider historical trends. Readers will learn about the relationships he maintained with his patrons and the commercial imperatives that shaped his professional activities. The book provides a look into the social and historical milieu of the era, showing how local music was connected to national and international networks. It is an essential resource for those studying classical music history and the cultural development of the English provinces.
