the cambridge history of

NINETEENTH-CENTURY MUSIC

This comprehensive overview of music in the nineteenth century draws on

the most recent scholarship in the ﬁeld. It avoids mere repertory surveys,

focusing instead on issues which illuminate the subject in novel and interest-

ing ways. The book is divided into two parts (1800–1850 and 1850–1900),

each of which approaches the major repertory of the period by way of essays

investigating the intellectual and socio-political history of the time. The

music itself is discussed in ﬁve central chapters within each part, ampliﬁed by

essays on topics such as popular culture, nationalism, genius, and the emer-

gent concept of an avant-garde. The book concludes with an examination of

musical styles and languages around the turn of the century. The addition of

a detailed chronology and extensive glossaries makes this the most informed

reference book on nineteenth-century music currently available.
