This book, the first to look at Avison's music in depth, examines the influences on Avison and the circumstances around the composition of his music. It draws heavily upon his important treatise, An Essay on Musical Expression, and other writings, to look at how closely he adheres to his musical aesthetics.

Simon D. I. Fleming is a Durham-based teacher, organist, and musicologist who previously taught in the Music Department at Durham University, UK.

Buch. Etat : Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -This book explores the works and influence of the eighteenth-century British composer Charles Avison. Although he spent most of his life in the northern town of Newcastle upon Tyne, Avison went on to have a marked impact on the musical life of Britain during the second half of the eighteenth century. His concertos become part of the national concert repertory, while his critical treatise, An Essay on Musical Expression, shaped debates about musical aesthetics. This book provides the first sustained examination of Avison's musical works and compositional techniques, and it traces how his music not only drew on influences from European composers but also reworked them and in turn, influenced others. Considering Avison's musical compositions, the circumstances around their composition and dissemination, and their place in music history, the author confronts preconceptions about the quality of Avison's music, reveals new dimensions of his work as a composer, and demonstrates the enduring popularity and impact of his music. The author also draws on Avison's writings to consider how closely he adheres to his own musical aesthetics. Reassessing Avison's contribution to British music history, this study makes the case for understanding him as an important figure in the development and spread of musical styles across eighteenth-century England. 308 pp. Englisch.
