A study of the life, work and times of Jean-Philippe Rameau. New paperback edition. Jean-Philippe Rameau (1683-1764) was the greatest French composer of the 18th century, but until the age of fifty he was best known as the author of a learned treatise on the science of music. When he finally achieved fame as an opera composer he polarised Parisian society like no other artistic figure of his time, for his personality was as complex and as singular as his music.
