The inventory and the Valuation in 1777, of the magnificent Music Library belonging to the Twelfth Duke of Alba and of his collection of musical instruments not only revealed the Duke as an international authority on music for stringed instruments but it also presented, in a very valid manner, Madrid as a center of creation of chamber music for Spanish and Italian musicians living in Spain and their interpretation, in a private capacity, in the residences of Nobles like the Duke of Alba. More than a thousand pieces of chamber music including works by the most important composers from France, Germany, Bohemia, Italy and Spain, together with a magnificent collection of instruments (Stradivarius, Guadagnini, Piatellini, etc.) means that Madrid can now take its proper place along with the other European centers of 18th century chamber music composition.
