This collection of essays is the first book-length study of music
history and cosmopolitanism, and is informed by arguments that
culture and identity do not have to be viewed as primarily located
in the context of nationalist narratives. Rather than trying to
distinguish between a true cosmopolitanism and a false
cosmopolitanism, the book presents studies that deepen
understanding of the heritage of this concept - the various ways in
which the term has been used to describe a wide range of activity
and social outlooks. It ranges over a two hundred-year period, and
more than a dozen countries, revealing how musicians and audiences
have responded to a common humanity by embracing culture beyond
regional or national boundaries. Among the various topics
investigated are: musical cosmopolitanism among composers in Latin
America, the Ottoman Empire, and Austro-Hungarian Empire;
cosmopolitan popular music historiography; cosmopolitan musical
entrepreneurs; and musical cosmopolitanism in the metropolises of
New York and Shanghai.
