About This Book

A historical-critical dictionary collects concise biographical and bibliographical notices of composers, musical writers, and celebrated practitioners from various nations, arranged alphabetically with cross-references. It opens with a preliminary discourse advocating an Italian musical bibliography, sets out method and definitions treating music as both art and science, and provides a chronological table and a reasoned catalog of works organized by subject. Individual entries summarize authors' lives, publications, and contributions, cite editions and sources, and note corrections. The work aims to assemble materials and references to facilitate further historical research and practical consultation by musicians and scholars.
