Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The history of the Holywell Music Room at Oxford is the subject of The Oldest Music Room in Europe: A Record of Eighteenth-Century Enterprise at Oxford. The Oxford Music Room happens to be an important venue in the history of music, for it is said to be the oldest room in Europe that was built solely for the purpose of musical performance. The early chapters recount the pieces and performances that were held in the Oxford Music Room, which hosted celebrated composers and performers as well as students and faculty. The book goes beyond merely reciting who played and what they played; it also tells anecdotes about the musicians, attendees and performances. An example of one such 'little known fact' that readers are sure to enjoy is that one of the early singers was a relative of Benjamin Franklin and later went on to become the first woman accepted as a prima donna at an Italian Opera House. The author also includes the rules that governed the management of the music room. Management of such an important venue was no simple thing, particularly since it involved the university, travelling musicians and other third parties with substantial egos. A committee was convened to make major decisions, such as scheduling, invitations, transcription of compositions, and payments for musicians. Thhe chapter devoted to the musical library that the Music Room administered is sure to be a favourite with all musicians, and the author lists the various holdings and the number of copies of each one. He goes on to explain that borrowers frequently failed to return the compositions, resulting in many advertisements in the Oxford Journal exhorting people not to steal the music. Readers who are musically inclined will appreciate the author's tone. In addition to being knowledgeable about music and history, he gets in plenty of pithy jabs, such as "Singers and critics were also as tiresome then as they are now." The Oldest Music Room in Europe: A Record of Eighteenth-Century Enterprise at Oxford is an excellent account of an important performance space and the people who made its reputation.

Download or read book Studies on Authorship in Historical Keyboard Music written by Andrew Woolley and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2023-10-31 with total page 275 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Authorship is a pertinent issue for historical musicology and musicians more widely, and some controversies concerned with major figures have even reached wider consciousness. Scholars have clarified some of the issues at stake in recent decades, such as the places of borrowing and arranging in the creative process and the wider cultural significance of these practices. The discovery of new sources and methodologies has also opened up opportunities for reassessing specific authorship problems. Drawing upon this wider musicological literature as well as insights from other disciplines, such as intellectual history and book history, this book aims to build on what has already been achieved by focussing on keyboard music. The nine chapters cover case studies of authorship problems, the socioeconomic conditions of music publishing, the contributions of composers, arrangers, copyists and music publishers in creating notated keyboard compositions, the functions of attribution and ascription, and how the contexts in which notated pieces were used affected concepts of authorship at different times and places.
