商品簡介
This is the second volume published by Variorum of reprinted essays by the prolific writer and historian. Carter (music history, Royal Holloway, U. of London, England) is familiar, it seems, with every aspect of the composer's world; this group of essays represents several aspects, including music publishing in Italy, c.1580-1625; essays on works by Caccini and Guarini; the concept of "aria" in the period; innovative aspects in Monteverdi's repertoire; and the historical and critical contexts of his work. The essays show a vast knowledge of archival sources and Monteverdi's writings, and include detailed references to the historical milieu. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
