Though traditionally labeled "Baroque", the seventeenth and early eighteen centuries in music could as easily be termed "early modern", since many of the genres that are popular today -such as the opera, the concerto, and the symphony- were established during that time. And as music itself was becoming more and more of the public affair, discussions and writings about music increased greatly. In this book, Margaret Murata presents twoscore readings from a constellation of personalities whose thoughts and opinions help define the period for us. We hear, of course, from the composers (Monteverdi, Schütz, Rameau, Bach) and the theorists (Artusi ,Simpson, North, Mattheson), but we also find the words of nonmusicians, ranging from the famous (Joseph Addison, lady Mary Montagu) to the unknown "Truthful Reporter".
