Gesa zur Nieden is a professor of musicology at Universität Greifswald, with research interests in 18th-century music theatre, the reception of Richard Wagner since 1945, and music and memory in pluralistic social contexts. After completing her PhD in Paris and Bochum, she worked as a professor in Mainz and Hannover. Since 2010 she has co-led three international research projects: two on the mobility of early modern musicians and one on 18th-century operatic pasticcios.Berthold Over is a visiting research fellow at Goldsmiths, University of London (2023-2024) and works as a research associate at Zentrum für Telemann-Pflege und -Forschung in Magdeburg. Between 2009 and 2021 he took part in international research projects at the universities of Greifswald and Mainz investigating the 18th-century pasticcio, the mobility and migration of music and musicians in the 18th century, and the Roman cantata of Händel's time. He has discovered previously unknown autographs by Vivaldi, Händel, and Mahler.

During the 17th and 18th century musicians' mobilities and migrations are essential for the European music history and the cultural exchange of music. Adopting viewpoints that reflect different methodological approaches and diversified research cultures, the book presents studies on central scopes, strategies and artistic outcomes of mobile and migratory musicians as well as on the transfer of music. By looking at elite and non-elite musicians and their everyday mobilities to major and minor centers of music production and practice, new biographical patterns and new stylistic paradigms in the European East, West and South emerge.
