At the end of the seventeenth century, London became a city full of
promise, the stuff that dreams were made of: theatres and concerts were
packed every night and the music publishing market was flourishing.
This
great European capital at the height of its economic expansion was
extremely attractive to the foreign musicians who settled there in large
numbers. It provided a most favourable context for the development of
instrumental music, fuelled by the final flowering of the English
tradition and by the latest European innovations.
