Opis

Music in the Galant Style is an authoritative and readily understandable study of the core compositional style of the eighteenth century. Gjerdingen adopts a unique approach, based on a massive but little-known corpus of pedagogical workbooks used by the most influential teachers of the century, the Italian partimenti.

Recenzje

Music in the galant style must count, both in 18th-century music studies and in music theory, as one of the most significant publications of recent decades.
