Johann Mattheson’s Pièces de clavecin and Das neu-eröffnete Orchestre
«’This book offers an important and fascinating insight into how the world of musical style was viewed in early 18th-century Germany. The translation of Part 3 of Mattheson’s treatise is invaluable.’ Douglas Hollick, The Consort»
A prolific music theorist and critic as well as an established composer, Johannes Mattheson remains surprisingly understudied. In this important study, Margaret Seares places Mattheson’s Pièces de clavecin (1714) in the context of his work as a public intellectual who encouraged German musicians and their musical public to eschew what he saw as the hidebound traditions of the past, and instead embrace a universalism of style and expression derived from contemporary currents in music of the leading European nations.
