Printed music was central to the performance, reception, and recollection of music in the 18th century. Among music publishers, the London firm of John Walsh (father and son) held unmatched commercial reach both in and outside of Britain. The contributors examine how the Walsh's brokered musical taste in and beyond Europe. They show the firm calibrating its offer to suit and shape an audience that ranged from amateurs of limited means to well-heeled opera devotees and members of court circles. Rigorous scholarship tracks the origins of Walsh miscellanies as well as the aims of the collectors of these editions and the provenances of Walsh volumes held by libraries today.
