The Venetian Composer and His World<br />
MICHAEL TALBOT, University of Liverpool<br />
Tomaso Albinoni (1671-1751) is familiar as<br />
a Venetian composer, a contemporary of<br />
Vivaldi's, and as one of the first composers<br />
of concertos, many of which are frequently<br />
performed today. His vocal music, however,<br />
has been unjustly neglected. This book<br />
presents new information on Albinoni's<br />
unusual life and interesting details of the<br />
Venetian environment andmusic at the time.<br />

An Introductory Survey<br />
PETER MANUEL<br />
Columbia University<br />
"Because he's gathered<br />
his facts so intelligently<br />
and presented them so clearly, he's<br />
always readable and often fascinating. You<br />
don't have to kid yourself into enjoying all<br />
these alien genres to love their stones<br />
Anybody with a yen to expound on the<br />
dehumanizing depredations of the culture<br />
industry should be forced to read this book.<br />
And so should anybody who believes<br />
the world is one big global village after all."<br />
