Nineteenthcentury music in its cultural, social, and intellectual contexts. Music in the Nineteenth Century examines the period from the Congress of Vienna in 1815 to the advent of Modernism in the 1890s. Frisch traces a complex web of relationships involving composers, performers, publishers, notated scores, oral traditions, audiences, institutions, cities, and nations. The book's central themes include middleclass involvement in music, the rich but elusive concept of Romanticism, the cult of virtuosity, and the everchanging balance between musical and commercial interests. The final chapter considers the sound world of nineteenthcentury music as captured by contemporary witnesses and early recordings.Western Music in Context: A Norton History comprises six volumes of moderate length, each written in an engaging style by a recognized expert. Authoritative and current, the series examines music in the broadest senseas sounds notated, performed, and heardfocusing not only on composers and works, but also on broader social and intellectual currents.
