A student of Clementi and C. F. Abel, Johann Baptist Cramer was a prominent concert pianist (particularly admired for his artful improvisations), and pedagogue. His multi-faceted musical career included the composition of 124 skillfully crafted sonatas, nine piano concertos, and numerous pieces for the amateur musician, as well as the establishment of a music publishing business. Cramer's oeuvre is divided into twelve groups (arranged chronologically within each group); each citation includes an incipit, a diplomatic rendering of the title-page of the first edition and/or autograph manuscript, and a date of the source (with an indication of the means by which that date was established).

Relevance and Marginalisation in Scandinavian and European Performing Arts 1770–1860: Questioning Canons reveals how various cultural processes have influenced what has been included, and what has been marginalised from canons of European music, dance, and theatre around the turn of the nineteenth century and the following decades. This collection of essays includes discussion of the piano repertory for young ladies in England; canonisation of the French minuet; marginalisation of the popular German dramatist Kotzebue from the dramatic canon; dance repertory and social life in Christiania (Oslo); informal cultural activities in Trondheim; repertory of Norwegian musical clocks; female itinerant performers in the Nordic sphere; preconditions, dissemination, and popularity of equestrian drama; marginalisation and amateur staging of a Singspiel by the renowned Danish playwright Oehlenschläger, also with perspectives on the music and its composers; and the perceived relevance of Henrik Ibsen’s staged theatre repertory and early dramas. By questioning established notions about canon, marginalisation, and relevance within the performing arts in the period 1770–1860, this book asserts itself as an intriguing text both to the culturally interested public and to scholars and students of musicology, dance research, and theatre studies.
