Description
The aim of this publication is to investigate the role of 18th-century Naples as the centre of a constant irradiation: of professionals (singers, instrumentalists, composers), of forms, of styles, of tastes tout court. However, alongside this ceaseless centrifugal movement, it is possible to discern an opposite and complementary flow that brought to the southern capital both young people eager to drink from the fountains of an incomparable “school” and already trained professionals in search of a prestigious engagement and definitive consecration. Countless foreign musicians have worked in the city of the Gulf: for longer or shorter periods of time, once or several times, with difficulty in making a name for themselves or with complete success.
This volume does not pretend to be the last word on the subject, but rather to collect useful pieces of the mosaic and to encourage further research.
