Excerpt from The Earlier French Musicians (1632-1834)
The object of this little book is to supply English readers with concise biographies of French Musicians from Lully to the beginning of the 19th century (a period covering about 200 years), reflecting in some measure the conditions and influences of the times in which they lived and worked. Although not all were born on French soil, France was so entirely the land of their adoption that they must be reckoned among her musicians.
For detailed analysis of their works, readers are referred to the Authors mentioned in the Bibliography.
