Music in the Baroque World

Focusing on the music of Europe and the Americas during the seventeenth and early eighteenth centuries, this work combines cultural, historical, and musical analysis. It emphasizes performance aspects like notation, instruments, and techniques, while placing musical events within their broader intellectual, social, religious, and political contexts. In-depth discussions and critical analyses are facilitated, and a companion website offers access to scores and audio/visual performances, enriching the study of Baroque music.
