Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The author, one of the first British conductors to perform Baroque and classical music in the authentic styles of the period, has written this survey of the musical instruments known to and used by the great composers of those periods, such as Monteverdi, Dowland, Purcell, Bach, Handel, Mozart, Haydn, and the young Beethoven. The first section describes the instruments which survived from the high Renaissance into the early Baroque. The second details the changes which took place in many instruments as the Baroque reached its summit with the music of Bach and Handel, and describes all the instruments used by those masters and their contemporaries. The third section describes the enormous changes in all instruments as the new classical style of Mozart, Haydn and their contemporaries developed, and culminates with the orchestra known to Beethoven at the beginning of his career, the orchestra that became our symphony orchestra. Every important instrument mentioned in the book is illustrated. There are over one hundred illustrations, many in colour, of instruments from collections all over Europe and America.

With a focus on Italy, France, Germany, the Netherlands and the Hapsburg lands, he covers the pitches of about 1,400 historical instruments and how the design and function influenced and were influenced by changes in pitch. In addition, he studies the effect of pitch differences on musical notation and choice of key. The author has also written a book on the oboe, the instrument that plays the "A" to which a symphony orchestra tunes. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "A History of Baroque Music is a detailed treatment of the music of the Baroque era, with particular focus on the seventeenth century. The author's approach is a history of musical style with an emphasis on musical scores. The book is divided initially by time period into early and later Baroque (1600-1700 and 1700-1750 respectively), and secondarily by country and composer. An introductory chapter discusses stylistic continuity with the late Renaissance and examines the etymology of the term "Baroque." The concluding chapter on the composer Telemann addresses the stylistic shift that led to the end of the Baroque and the transition into the Classical period."--Jacket.
