| Abstract: | Author's hypotheses include: competition among neighbouring states may favor cultural innovation, the most famous composers of Euroepean instrumental music came from the two countries characterized by the highest degree of political fragmentation: Italy and Germany. It is shown how the most famous Italian and German composers of the Baroque period changed their employers remarkably more often than their French and British counterparts did. It is also argued that reformation led to musical competition between the Catholic and Protestant churces. |
