A compelling new study of instrumental music in early modern Naples and its defining influence on the cultural life of centers such as Vienna and Paris. It explores music pedagogy, performance practices, patronage, and musicians' social mobility, highlighting the crucial role of Neapolitan string virtuosi in eighteenth-century European culture.
Drawing on extensive archival work, this book examines the crucial contribution of Neapolitan string virtuosi to the dissemination of instrumental music and to the development of string practices and musical culture in Europe. It presents a fresh look at the central place of instrumental music in early modern Naples and considers aspects of music pedagogy, performance practices, patronage, and musicians' social mobility. Music examples, paintings, and lists of personnel of major music institutions inform the discussion and illustrate the opportunities for social mobility afforded by the music profession. Music production and consumption are considered within their cultural, political, and economic contexts and in connection with the rapid political changes of eighteenth-century Naples. This substantial contribution to the understanding of a previously under-studied repertory places the cultivation of Neapolitan instrumental music at the centre of aesthetic and cultural developments across eighteenth-century Europe.

Guido Olivieri is Professor of Instruction in Musicology at the University of Texas, Austin. He co-edited the volume Arcomelo 2013 (2015), the edition of A. Corelli's Sonate di Assisi (2015), the critical edition of Cimarosa's Il matrimonio segreto (forthcoming), and published editions and articles on seventeenth- and eighteenth-century instrumental music.
