"The book combines theory and practice, discussing the theoretical aspects and practical realization of the arrangement of tonal space in terms of their contemporary reception. Brover-Lubovsky's approach is therefore directed toward a study of the musical repertory mapped onto the canvas of contemporary musical thought, including theory, pedagogy, reception, and aesthetics. Tonal Space in the Music of Antonio Vivaldi is a substantial contribution to a better understanding of Vivaldi's individual style, while illuminating wider processes of stylistic development and of the diffusion of artistic ideas in the eighteenth century."--BOOK JACKET.

"It is truly exciting and vastly stimulating to read an author who is a fine musicologist and at the same time one who is immersed in Lutheranism, for the coming together of Luther's theology and Bach's vocal music is of extraordinary historical importance. . . . This book establishes absolutely original insights into the workings of this great genius of musical composition."--George Buelow, Indiana University "It is truly exciting and vastly stimulating to read an author who is a fine musicologist and at the same time one who is immersed in Lutheranism, for the coming together of Luther's theology and Bach's vocal music is of extraordinary historical importance. . . .
