Description

Explore the core of today's musical repertoire with the Historical Dictionary of Music of the Classical Period. While the term 'classical music' is often used broadly, this volume focuses on the specific era spanning roughly 1730 to 1800. This period stands as a glorious era for both composition and performance, forming the foundation of serious art music. This reference work covers the most famous figures of the age, including Haydn, Mozart, and Beethoven. Beyond these household names, the dictionary provides essential information on other well-known composers like Gluck and C.P.E. Bach, as well as many other musicians who are less recognized today. It is a valuable resource for anyone looking to understand the specific history and figures that defined this transformative era of music.
