Synopsis
This comprehensive bibliographical study provides details of all the concertos by English composers that were published in the eighteenth century. A list giving the location of surviving concerto material delineates the extent of a surprisingly large field. Melodic incipits are included along with instrumentation. Details are presented in a way that is meant to help the reader identify incomplete or untitled concertos of this repertory. In the wake of the early music movement, musicians have rediscovered attractive qualities in the orchestral music of lesser-known composers of this period.

This catalogue will be an invaluable resource for performers of eighteenth-century music seeking valuable and hitherto unknown repertory.
