(Diana Edizioni Napoli)
"The golden century of music in Naples. For a canon of the Neapolitan musical school of the 18th century" is a tool for the knowledge and rediscovery of the great international musical history of the eighteenth century. Between the end of the 17th century and the second half of the 18th century Naples was the major European center for the production and offer of music. In the famous four conservatories of the city an impressive number of highly skilled musicians were trained. The compositions and teaching of the "mighty magicians" and "great masters" of Neapolitan harmonic art transformed the musical panorama of the time. The text benefits from the contribution of experts from various backgrounds. Music historians, critics, musicologists, researchers, and musicians outline the human and artistic profiles of the protagonists of the golden century of music in Naples, describing the fertile historical-social and cultural context in which the international "Neapolitan musical school" was born and spread.
