Musicians, publishers and pirates of the mid-Baroque
Study day at the British Library, Foyle Room
Wednesday 29th June 2016, 11.15-16.30 (doors open at 10.45)
How did composers like Purcell, Lully and Schütz publish their music? Did they have any legal rights against the unauthorised printing of their music? Why was music publishing so vibrant in London and Amsterdam around 1700, yet almost moribund in many German and Italian cities of that era? This study day examines the financial and legal framework for 17th-century music publishing in England, France, Germany and the Low Countries, and introduces highlights from the British Library's collections.
Speakers include Rebecca Herissone, Rudolf Rasch, Stephen Rose, Graham Sadler and Sandra Tuppen. Study day convened by Stephen Rose.
