Baroque Composers: Vivaldi (Hardcover)

Since 1978, the 300th anniversary of Vivaldi's death, there has been an explosion of serious writing about his music, life and times.

Much of this has taken the form of articles published in academic journals or conference proceedings, some of which are not easy to obtain.

The twenty-two articles selected by Michael Talbot for this volume form a representative selection of the best writing on Vivaldi from the last 30 years, featuring such major figures in Vivaldi research as Reinhard Strohm, Paul Everett, Gastone Vio and Federico Maria Sardelli.

Aspects covered include biography, Venetian cultural history, manuscript studies, genre studies and musical analysis.
