Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Studies of the Eighteenth Century in Italy This book is at first sight heterogeneous and anomalous: heterogeneous, because it treats two subjects which are rarely treated by one individual, and never treated under one binding, literature and music; anomalous, because it is far from dealing with all that goes to make up the Italian Eighteenth Century, while it deals with not a few men and things belonging to the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. Why not deal exclusively and completely with either music or literature? Why not study the satirist Parini by the side of the playwright Goldoni, rather than study the composer Jommelli, who seems to have no connection with him? Why examine the comedies of the time of Salvator Rosa and pass over the tragedies of Alfieri? Why linger over forgotten composers and singers while scientific and philosophic writers, whose works are still read and discussed, remain unmentioned? The book is seemingly most incoherent in subject, and most incomplete and digressive in treatment. But the apparent incoherence of subject is in reality unity of treatment; and the apparent incompleteness and irrelevance of treatment is in reality completeness and restriction of the subject. The book deals both with literature and with music, because the point of view of the writer is neither exclusively literary nor exclusively musical, but generally aesthetic; because the object of the writer has been to study not the special nature and history of any art in its isolation, but to study the constitution and evolution of the various arts compared with one another; and the arts whose constitution and evolution can be studied in a work on the Italian Eighteenth Century happen to be the drama and music, just as the arts which might be studied in a work on the Athenian fifth century B.C. would be the drama and sculpture. The writer of this book is neither a literary historian nor a musical critic, but an aesthetician; and both literature and music belong to the aesthetician's domain.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Countess of Albany IN preparing this volume on the Countess of Albany (which I consider as a kind of completion of my previous studies of eighteenth-century Italy), I have availed myself largely of Baron Alfred von Reumont's large work Die Grc'ifin von Albany (published in 1862) and of the monograph, itself partially founded on the foregoing, of M. St. Ren' Taillandier, entitled La Comtesse d'albany, published in Paris in 1862. Baron von Reumont's two volumes, written twenty years ago and when the generation which had come into per sonal contact with the Countess of Albany had not yet entirely died out; and M. St. Rene Taillandier's volume, which embodied the result of his researches into the archives of the Mus'e Fabre at Montpellier might naturally be expected to have exhausted all the information obtainable about the subject of their and my studies. This has proved to be the case very much less than might have been anticipated. The publication, by Jacopo Bernardi and Carlo Milanesi.

Download or read book Naples in 1799 Classic Reprint written by Constance H. D. Stocker Giglioli and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-03-21 with total page 542 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Naples in 1799 N writing the following pages the intention of the author has been to present to English readers a sketch of the men who formed the Neapolitan Republic of I 799, together with sufficient outline of their surroundings, and of the condition of the kingdom of Naples at the close of the eighteenth century, to make their position clear. The writer can lay no claim to original research, and has merely endeavoured to bring within the knowledge of English readers, who have not the means of studying the ample Italian literature of this subject, that side of the drama of I 799 which English literature has been too apt to ignore. This drama has been generally regarded in England as a mere background to an episode in the life of Nelson and when it has been handled at all has often been handled with heat, often with gross unfairness and gross ignorance, or at best presented in chips and frag ments which do no justice to the subject, however they may serve to illustrate the argument of the moment - an argument which generally assumes Nelson to be the person principally concerned. By means of contemporary evidence, letters, diaries, and so forth, with which the patient industry and research of Italian writers have so amply furnished the present generation, the chief actors in those scenes live, move.

Download or read book The Eighteenth century Diaspora of Italian Music and Musicians written by Reinhard Strohm and published by Brepols Publishers. This book was released on 2001 with total page 384 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On an eighteenth-century map of European culture, Italian musicians would be found almost everywhere. Unlike in earlier ages, they now provided an intrinsic part of the international exchange: no longer exotic birds, but not yet the representatives of a single nation, they helped other Europeans to forget traditional frontiers in music. In this fascinating book, eight specialised music historians investigate several important aspects of the Italian contribution, highlighting local musical practices, the aesthetic of genres, and the larger patterns of musical cultivation and patronage.
