Editorial Reviews

Review

“This book will be welcomed by those who are interested in the musical criticism as well as for its own sake as a study in eighteenth-century culture.”–Times [London] Literary Supplement

Book Description

This influential 1895 account of Gluck's life and his achievements sets the composer in the context of eighteenth-century intellectual life. It tracks Gluck's efforts to move opera forward after a period of stagnation, fusing the Italian and French traditions and paving the way for Weber and Wagner. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
