• Sommario/riassunto: This book examines the relationship between the Breitkopf family, a prominent Leipzig music publishing house, and the works of Johann Sebastian Bach and his family, as well as Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart and his family. It explores the Breitkopfs' contributions to music publishing, including their development of innovative printing techniques and their role in preserving and disseminating the works of J.S. Bach, C.P.E. Bach, and others. The book also delves into the Breitkopf firm's cataloging practices, their manuscript collection, and their impact on the music trade in the 18th century. Aimed at musicologists, historians, and enthusiasts of classical music, it provides a detailed analysis of how the Breitkopfs shaped the availability and legacy of significant musical compositions during this period.
