Moravian composers -- mostly pastors and teachers trained in the styles and genres of the Haydn-Mozart era -- crafted thousands of compositions for worship,and copied and collected thousands of instrumental works for recreation and instruction.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e The book's chapters examine sacred and secular works, both for instruments -- including piano solo -- and for voices.
