"Looking Over a Four-Leaf Clover" -- Charles Burney, Music Historian,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: General History Of Music, From The Earliest Times To The Present Period. With Critical And Historical Notes By Frank Mercer ( 2 Volumes ) (Library Binding)
Charles Burney (1726 - 1814). "Music historian and composer. . . .In its emphasis on contemporary rather than "ancient" music, the General History [of Music] differs from that of John Hawkins (1776). Burney's writings constitute the most important firsthand account of l8th-century European musical life." -- Randel, The Harvard Biogaphical Dictionary of Music (1996), 1013 pages.
Burney's History is in two vols.: Volume 1 (817 pp.), Vol. 2 (1098 pp.), critical notes by Frank Mercer. Dover reprint 1957. Bought a 2-vol set from Amazon about a decade ago. |
