Generally acknowledged as the most important German musicologist of
his age, Hugo Riemann (1849-1919) shaped the ideas of generations
of music scholars, not least because his work coincided with the
institutionalisation of academic musicology around the turn of the
last century. This influence, however, belies the contentious idea
at the heart of his musical thought, an idea he defended for most
of his career - harmonic dualism. By situating Riemann's musical
thought within turn-of-the-century discourses about the natural
sciences, German nationhood and modern technology, this book
reconstructs the cultural context in which Riemann's ideas not only
'made sense' but advanced an understanding of the tonal tradition
as both natural and German. Riemann's musical thought - from his
considerations of acoustical properties to his aesthetic and
music-historical views - thus regains the coherence and cultural
urgency that it once possessed.
