Summary "A deeply researched account of musical culture in five early modern German cities (Augsburg, Erfurt, Gotha, Leipzig, and Munich) offering a new narrative of Baroque music, one that defines the era in terms of social dynamics rather than style and genre development. As Kevorkian demonstrates, musicians were much more closely integrated into urban society in the course of their educations, performances, and careers than has since become the case"-- Provided by publisher
