The Zurich Reformation, led by Ulrich Zwingli, resulted in instrumental music being banned in all churches until the early 1800s. This by no means led to a dearth of music-making, but made the private house for many years the principal venue for playing and hearing music; the works composed in Zurich until the mid-1700s were accordingly small in scale. Zurich was at that time a town of only some 10'000 inhabitants, but in cultural terms it was of considerable significance, playing a major rôle in the propagation of the ideas of the Enlightenment. It also had a vogue for English literature. |
