Travel Diary of Dr Charles Burney

Résumé du livre

The manuscripts are the diary of the continental tour undertaken by Burney in 1770 in order to compile materials for his General History of Music. They contain very complete accounts of his visits to the major cities of France and Italy (Paris, Lyons, Milan, Padua, Venice, Bologna, Florence, Rome, Naples, Genoa, etc.), with more discussion of works of art and people encountered than appears in the various printed editions.
