The Recueils d’airs sérieux et à boire de différents autheurs (“RASB”) 1695-1715
Elizabeth Dobbin

Ballard, on the other hand, was running a business and his commercial strategies favoured the publication of those airs which would guarantee the sale of the highest number of copies. The enduring commercial success of the RASB indicates that Ballard’s editorial choices were reflective of the tastes of the avid and elite music-public, and successful predictors of the next day’s fashion.
