A collection of essays starting with the author's research on Jacopo Peri and the rise of opera and solo song in late-16th and early-17th-century Florence. It extends to broader issues concerning music and patronage in the city, and thence to the commerce of music printing and the book trade.
This collection of reprinted essays starts from the author''s doctoral research on Jacopo Peri and the rise of opera and solo song in late sixteenth- and early seventeenth-century Florence. It extends to broader issues concerning music and patronage in the city as they affected individual composers, patrons and institutions, and thence to the commerce of music printing and the book trade. It concludes with an attempt to suggest a broader view of these various issues as they impact upon musical life in the ''provinces'' in Tuscany. There is a great deal of new documentary and other information here, but the aim is also to expand methodological horizons so as to prompt new ways of thinking about music in its contexts.
