The Musical Source Culture in 1780s Vienna: A Study of Distribution and Chronology

通过对以前被忽视的档案材料、当代广告以及与不太知名的作曲家和专业抄写员有关的各种手稿的咨询，该项目提供了有关18世纪80年代维也纳音乐来源的商业发行和年表的重要新信息。使用一种新开发的方法来手稿分析，随后应用在一个无与伦比的大规模，各种文件的起源，迄今为止未知的，被发现和他们的传记影响和意义相对于他们的创作者和经销商进行了讨论。

Through the consultation of previously neglected archival material, contemporary advertisements, and a wide range of manuscripts pertaining to lesser-known composers and professional copyists, this project presents significant new information on the commercial distribution and chronology of musical sources in Vienna during the 1780s. Using a newly developed approach to manuscript analyses, subsequently applied on an unparalleled large scale, the origins of a variety of documents, hitherto unknown, are uncovered and their biographical implications and significance relative to their creators and distributors are discussed.
