IV 268 p., 184 colour ill., 220 x 280 mm, Languages: French, Hardback. ISBN 9782503534312. Le present ouvrage, richement illustre, propose une etude approfondie de la collection musicale des ducs d?Arenberg, qui fait aujourd?hui partie integrante des archives privees familiales conservees a Enghien (Belgique). Cet ensemble exceptionnel de manuscrits et d?imprimes, en provenance de toute l?Europe, s?est constitue des la fin du XVIIe siecle et tout au long du XVIIIe siecle. Son analyse offre l?opportunite rare de pouvoir mettre au jour des sources musicales inconnues des repertoires baroque et classique, de reconstituer l?histoire de leur presence dans la collection et, au-dela, de mettre en evidence la place que la musique occupa au XVIIIe siecle dans une famille aristocratique particulierement influente dans les territoires de la future Belgique. Une introduction retrace les grandes etapes de l?histoire de la famille d?Arenberg et de sa bibliotheque familiale. Trois chapitres traitent ensuite des ducs Leopold-Philippe (1690-1754), Charles-Marie-Raymond (1721-1778) et Louis-Engelbert (1750-1820) d?Arenberg. Dans la foulee de concerts, de representations d?operas mais aussi de contacts privilegies tisses avec des musiciens, ceux-ci font l?acquisition de plusieurs centaines de manuscrits et d?imprimes ou les noms de Lully, Haendel, Pergolesi, Paisiello, Gretry, Mozart ou Haydn cotoient ceux de personnalites musicales oubliees. Les identifications qui ont ete effectuees mettent en evidence le caractere unique de nombreuses pages musicales de la collection, notamment celles proposant deux arias inconnues de L?inganno trionfante in amore de Vivaldi. Les sources et documents les plus significatifs sont reproduits dans l?ouvrage. 0 g. Seller Inventory # 31361
