Central to the repertoire of Western art music since the 18th century, the symphony has come to be regarded as one of the ultimate compositional challenges. In his five-volume series The Symphonic Repertoire, the late A. Peter Brown explores the symphony from its 18th-century beginnings to the end of the 20th century. In Volume 1, The Eighteenth-Century Symphony, 22 of Brown’s former students and colleagues collaborate to complete the work that he began on this critical period of development in symphonic history. The work follows Brown’s outline, is organized by country, and focuses on major composers. It includes a four-chapter overview and concludes with a reframing of the symphonic narrative. Contributors address issues of historiography, the status of research, and questions of attribution and stylistic traits, and provide background material on the musical context of composition and early performances. The volume features a CD of recordings from the Bloomington Early Music Festival Orchestra, highlighting the largely unavailable repertoire discussed in the book.

"Mary Sue Morrow and Bathia Churgin have assembled and edited a superb collection of essays...The book is gratifyingly up to date, taking account of recently published research on sonata form, the galant style, and the early orchestra. Richly illustrated with musical examples, The Eighteenth-Century Symphony will be welcomed by students both of the genre and of the age that produced it." --John A. Rice, Akademie fur Mozart-Forschung, Salzburg
