In this 1773 work, reissued here in its 1775 second edition, Burney recounts the 1772 journey that he undertook as one of two research trips for his General History of Music (1776–89). Throughout his travels, he was welcomed by the leading musicians of the day and heard many performances of the latest music. The whole account provides an invaluable first-hand insight into European musical life in the eighteenth century. Burney's General History and The Present State of Music in France and Italy (1772), the record of his first tour, are also reissued in this series. Volume 2 includes his visit to Potsdam to hear Frederick the Great's flute playing, and to Hamburg where he was welcomed by C. P. E. Bach.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eAdvertisement\u003cbr\u003e Bohemia\u003cbr\u003e Prague\u003cbr\u003e Dresden\u003cbr\u003e Leipsic\u003cbr\u003e Berlin\u003cbr\u003e Potsdam\u003cbr\u003e Hamburg\u003cbr\u003e Bremen\u003cbr\u003e Low countries\u003cbr\u003e Index.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eSubject Areas: Baroque music [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on Baroque music\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22Baroque%20music%20%5Bc%201600%20to%20c%201750%5D%20%5BAVGC3%5D%22\"\u003ec 1600 to c 1750 AVGC3\u003c\/a\u003e]\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Cambridge University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46001696571672,"sku":"9781108075510","price":33.29,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/2037\/5320\/products\/9781108075510i_02861eff-1e42-4322-8d72-18bd3eeb220b.jpg?v=1696751549","url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/the-present-state-of-music-in-germany-the-netherlands-and-united-provinces-or-the-journal-of-a-tour-through-those-countries-undertaken-to-collect-materials-for-a-general-history-of-music-paperback-9781108075510","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
