Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book is an inventory of musical instruments in France between 1791 and 1794, during the French Revolution. Drawing from archives, the author Antonio Bruni details the instruments of the period, including those used in the popular operas comiques and cantatas of the time. The book also provides a glimpse into the lives of the owners of these instruments, many of whom were wealthy aristocrats, financiers, and bourgeoisie. Some of these individuals were forced to flee France, while others lost their lives in the turmoil of the Revolution. Despite its focus on a specific moment in history, the book provides insights into the enduring power of music and its ability to connect people across time.
