Description
Rameau A Life
Simon Trowbridge's biography is the first general study of Rameau's life and work to be published in English in over half a century. This elegant introduction explores Rameau's significance as a major figure in 18th-century Parisian culture and intellectual life.
Rameau was both a renowned composer and influential scientist, whose complex personality mirrored his innovative music and ideas. His career polarised Parisian society like no other artistic figure of his time, making him an often paradoxical figure who worked within official realms while remaining true to himself.
