Description
This book is about Baroque composer and theorist Jean-Philippe Rameau (1683-1764), covering his life and creative activity. The dictionary and work-list provide the reader with cross-referenced material. The dictionary highlights discoveries and developments and corrects errors and misunderstandings. It includes entries on institutions, places, individuals, genres, instruments, technical terms, iconography, editions, specific works and publications, and aspects of performance and Rameau's theoretical writings as in his life and music. Many entries illuminate aspects of Rameau's notation and performance practice that can prove puzzling to the non-specialist. The biographical chapter provides factual information and draws attention to significant patterns in Rameau's life and work.
