Music at German Courts, 1715-1760
What was musical life at German courts really like during the eighteenth century? Through a series of individual case studies contributed by leading scholars from Germany, Poland, the United States, Canada, and Australia, this book investigates the realities of musical life at fifteen German courts of varied size (ranging from kingdoms to principalities), religious denomination, and geographical location. Were musical ensembles as diverse as the Holy Roman Empire's kaleidoscopic political landscape?
