Inhaltsangabe

This book explores the phenomenon of musical miscellany in early eighteenth-century England both in performance culture and as an aesthetic. Chapters offer analyses of concert programming, music criticism, the compilation of pasticcio operas and songbook miscellanies, and the ways in which musicians shaped their freelancing careers.
