Description: This book comprises a collection of essays which addresses the achievements of Fux as composer and theorist. Fux has long been regarded as the outstanding exponent of the late Austro-Italian Baroque, and this timely volume of studies, published in the 250th anniversary year of his death, assesses both the range and influence of Fux's work and the current condition of Fux scholarship.

The volume includes essays by several distinguished Fux scholars on the sources of this music, the transmission of Fux's pedagogical thought and the extraordinary range of Fux's cultivation of late baroque style. The book closes with the most extensive bibliography of secondary literature on Fux yet compiled, and the volume as a whole is designed to stimulate further research on the composer.
