In his five-volume series \u003ci\u003eThe Symphonic Repertoire, \u003c\/i\u003e the late A. Peter Brown explores the symphony from its 18th-century beginnings to the end of the 20th century. In Volume 1, \u003ci\u003eThe Eighteenth-Century Symphony, \u003c\/i\u003e 22 of Brown's former students and colleagues collaborate to complete the work that he began on this critical period of development in symphonic history. The work follows Brown's outline, is organized by country, and focuses on major composers. It includes a four-chapter overview and concludes with a reframing of the symphonic narrative. Contributors address issues of historiography, the status of research, and questions of attribution and stylistic traits, and provide background material on the musical context of composition and early performances. The volume features a CD of recordings from the Bloomington Early Music Festival Orchestra, highlighting the largely unavailable repertoire discussed in the book.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMary Sue Morrow is Professor of Musicology at the College-Conservatory of Music, University of Cincinnati, and author of \u003ci\u003eConcert Life in Haydn's Vienna\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eGerman Music Criticism in the Late Eighteenth Century.\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBathia Churgin is former chair and founder of the Musicology Department at Bar-Ilan University.
