Book Synopsis
This interdisciplinary book investigates spaces for music-making in Early Modern France and Italy. Spaces specifically designed for music began to appear in private dwellings. While elite music-making became more specialised through the employment of paid musicians, music printing allowed new compositions to be diffused down the social scale.
