Este volume de 512 p. é o resultado final de uma pesquisa, iniciada em 2003, a pretexto de servir ao Programa de Mestrado da Área de História Social da FFLCH-USP, e encerrada em 2010, já durante um estágio pós-doutoral, desenvolvido no Departamento de Música do Instituto de Artes da UNESP, então sob os auspícios da Fundação de Amparo à Pesquisa do Estado de São Paulo (FAPESP).
