After studying music at Oxford and Surrey Universities, Patricia
Howard joined the Music Department at the Open University, where
she worked as a Course Tutor and a Course Team member. In addition,
she has written and broadcast extensively as a free-lance,
contributing in particular to the BBC's 'Music Magazine' and 'Music
Matters', and writing regularly for the Musical Times, Early Music,
Music and Letters, and Il saggiatore musicale. She has worked with
the
singers Emma Dogliani and Iestyn Davies, researching repertory,
writing concert and disc notes and presenting pre-concert talks.
"Howard's book has many merits, foremost among them her judicious exploration of a comprehensive source base covering four languages and ranging from the ubiquitous to the virtually unknown." --H-Net
