"Dizionario storico-critico degli scrittori di musica e de' più celebri artisti" di Giuseppe Bertini is a historical and critical dictionary written in the early 19th century. The work focuses on compiling biographical and bibliographical information about music writers and famous artists from various nations, both ancient and modern. It aims to fill a gap in the musical literature by providing accessible information regarding influential figures in music history. The opening portion of the dictionary begins with a dedication to D. Margarita Pignatelli, emphasizing the importance of music and its cultural significance, particularly in Italy. Bertini outlines the need for a comprehensive bibliographical resource on music, explaining that despite the advancements in this art form, there has been a lack of attention to its literary history. He describes the structure of the dictionary, which will organize entries alphabetically for ease of reference, and sets forth its ambition to inform readers about the contributions and successes of various historical figures in music, laying the groundwork for a more established understanding of the art and its progress over time.
