Description

Explore the musical legacy of Johannes Mattheson through this detailed scholarly study from the Royal Musical Association Monographs. Margaret Seares examines Mattheson's role as a prolific music theorist, critic, and established composer who remains an understudied figure in music history. This work places Mattheson's Pieces de clavecin (1714) within the broader context of his influence as a public intellectual. Seares investigates how he encouraged German musicians to move past old traditions and instead adopt a universal style of expression. By looking at contemporary musical currents from leading European nations, the book provides a clear view of his efforts to modernize musical practice. Starting with his early non-musical writings, the study traces his development and impact on the musical public. This book is an essential resource for students and researchers interested in the evolution of classical music theory and the transition toward a more international musical language.
