"[T]his book [is] an important contribution not only to Kraus studies but also to the literature on 18th-century music in general. . . . Recommended."—Choice"Van Boer's translation is most readable . . . One hopes these letters will get people interested in the musical culture of the late 18th century outside the musical hot-house of Vienna. Jospeh Martin Kraus will be a charming guide.May/June 2015"—Fanfare"Bertil van Boer's edition of Kraus's letters is a welcome complement to his already significant contribution to Kraus research . . . There is much here to engage the attention of anyone with an interest in eighteenth-century studies, and scholars from various disciplines will find it a useful resource."—Music and Letters"A book of vital importance by a world authority on Kraus."—W. Dean Sutcliffe, The University of Auckland
