The author explains how, beginning in the 16th century, French composers gained prominence in Europe with groundbreaking works.

The account continues into the 18th century, discussing Jean-Philippe Rameau and his contributions to the opera's captivating spectacle and dramatic impact. The author then details the rise of opera-comique and the dramatic reforms of Christoph Willibald Gluck, whose rivalry with Niccolà Piccinni is recounted.
