Music in London and the Myth of Decline: From Haydn to the Philharmonic
Ian Taylor
Using contemporary concert programmes and newspaper reviews, this book questions the widely accepted notion that the period surrounding the turn of the nineteenth century marked a 'dark age' for the history of musical performance in London. Taylor illustrates that the Philharmonic Society built on the growing interest in orchestral music.
