"This publication is the revised, expanded, and updated version of the book in French that appeared in 2010 from the same publisher : Les ducs d'Arenberg et la musique au XVIIIe siècle. Histoire d'une collection musicale.
"The study explores in depth the development of a music collection created by one of the most influential noble Europeans families under the Ancien Regime -a family resident in the Spanish and then in the Austrian Netherlands, the territory of the future state of Belgium.
"Today forming an integral part of the private family archives kept at Enghien (in the Hainaut region of Belgium), this exceptional collection of manuscripts and prints from all over Europe began to expand in the last years of the seventeenth century, and grew gradually and continually throughout the eighteenth century."
