If there is one period in music history that lies in the background of our modern concept of classical music and yet is difficult to grasp in its entirety, it is the Classical Period. There can be no doubt that this was perhaps one of the most fruitful compositional periods in history, and in comparison with other times, it would seem that there was a market for music of all sorts in virtually every place.
The Historical Dictionary of Music of the Classical Period covers the music of the Classical Period (1728-1800) with both forerunners and successors briefly described. This is done through a chronology, an introductory essay, and an extensive bibliography. The dictionary section has over 1,000 cross-referenced entries on composers, genres, styles, significant patrons or musicians, musical instruments, and terms demonstrating the global reach of the music of this era. This book is an excellent access point for students, researchers, and anyone wanting to know more about classical music.
