Where it came from
Vincenzo Manfredini originally published his Difesa della musica moderna in 1788 during a period of intense aesthetic debate regarding the evolution of musical composition in the late eighteenth century. As a composer and music theorist active in Saint Petersburg, Manfredini wrote this work as a polemical response to critics of contemporary musical trends, aiming to uphold the technical innovations of his era against traditionalist detractors who favored older, more rigid stylistic structures.
The 2002 edition published by The Edwin Mellen Press provides a critical English translation that serves as a scholarly bridge for musicologists studying the late Enlightenment period. This volume captures Manfredini's nuanced arguments about harmony and melodic structure, offering a vital primary source that reflects the shifting artistic priorities of European courtly music at the time of its initial release.
