Thematisch-systematisches Verzeichnis der musikalischen Werke von Johann Sebastian Bach ed. by Christine Blanken, Christoph Wolff, and Peter Wollny (review)

Abstract

University Press, 2016). The specificity of Law’s research, as well as its high level of detail, does mean that those not already familiar with eighteenthcentury French opera will face a steep learning curve. For those already engaged in this area of study, however, Law’s book presents an insightful and worthwhile examination of dramatic expression in French opera and its connections to broader Enlightenment values throughout the century.
