"The book" is volume V of the 1911 Grove's, which contains T-Z and the appendix. The entries on Vivaldi and Telemann say much about the 19th century attitude toward the 18th century. Telemann's "shortcomings are most patent in his church works, which are of greater historical importance than his operas and other music. The shallowness of the church music of the latter half of the 18th century is distinctly traceable to Telemann's influence..." Those remarks remained in the 1954 Grove's, which wasn't replaced until 1979. -- To get on or off this list see list information at http://www.cs.dartmouth.edu/~wbc/lute-admin/index.html
