- Title
The Market for Music in the Late Eighteenth Century and the Entry Books of the Stationers' Company.
- Authors
MACE, NANCY A.
- Abstract
The article considers the market of printed music in the late eighteenth-century Great Britain in order to assess the period's music culture. The author uses records of printed music found in "The English Short-Title Catalogue," newspaper advertisements and print catalogues, litigation records, and Stationers' Hall registration records. The author considers whether British or continental composers were more popular with the music-buying public and considers types of music from sources such as operas, pleasure gardens, theatres, and concerts.
