Haydn
This definitive study of the life and works of Joseph Haydn represents half a century of research. As curator of the Gesellschaft der Musikfreunde in Vienna, Dr. Geiringer was in charge of one of the world's leading Haydn collections. His scholarly investigations took him to various monasteries, to libraries in Eisenstadt, Prague, Berlin, Paris, London, and Washington, D.C., and, as guest of the Hungarian government, to the previously almost inaccessible archives of the Princes of Esterhazy in Budapest.

Making Light
Raymond Knapp traces the musical legacy of German Idealism as it led to the declining prestige of composers such as Haydn while influencing the development of American popular music in the nineteenth century, showing how the existence of camp in Haydn and American music offer ways of reassessing Haydn's oeuvre.
Sir George Dyson
George Dyson (1883-1964) was a highly influential composer, educator and administrator, whose work touched the lives of millions. Yet today, apart from his 'Canterbury Pilgrims' and two sets of canticles for 'Choral Evensong', his music is little known. In this comprehensive and detailed study, based not only on Dyson's own writings but on unpublished papers, personal correspondence, and interviews with his family and friends, Paul Spicer brings this remarkable man and his lyrical, passionate and engaging music to life once more.
Studies in Eighteenth-Century Music
Originally published in 1970 this collection of essays by a renowned international musicologist is both imaginative in scope and authoritative in scholarship. The works of such famous composers as Joseph Haydn, Handel, J.S. Bach and C.P.E. Bach are discussed in detail, as are the achievements of other composers of that era – Lenoardo Leo, Johann Mattheson, Puccinni, Clementi and so on. The book includes essays by Gerald Abraham, Robert Donington, Putnam Aldrich and William G. Waite, among others. These essays are also of wide biographical, sociological and historical interest. Studies in Eighteenth-Century Music is a major contribution to aesthetics in music.
