Description

Discover the hidden sounds of the late seventeenth century with this scholarly study from Routledge. Based on primary sources, many of which have never been published or examined in detail, this book provides a rare look into the music of composers like Biber, Schmeltzer, and Muffat. By utilizing the extensive Moravian archives in Kromeriz, the text explores compositions that have not been fully analyzed within their original cultural and conceptual contexts. Charles E. Brewer places these composers within a clear framework, beginning with the basic Baroque concepts of instrumental style to provide a foundation for understanding specific works. This book is an essential resource for musicologists and historians interested in the evolution of Baroque instrumental music and the specific contributions of the Moravian archives. It offers a deep look at the dances of Schmeltzer and the broader musical landscape of the era through a lens of historical accuracy and primary source research.
