This volume explores the way in which composers, performers, and
critics shaped individual and collective identities in music from
Europe and the United States from the 1860s to the 1950s. Selected
essays and articles engage with works and their reception by
Richard Wagner, Georges Bizet (in an American incarnation), Lili
and Nadia Boulanger, William Grant Still, and Aaron Copland, and
with performers such as Wanda Landowska and even Marilyn Monroe.
Ranging in context from the opera house through the concert hall to
the salon, and from establishment cultures to counter-cultural
products, the main focus is how music permits new ways of
considering issues of nationality, class, race, and gender. These
essays - three presented for the first time in English translation
- reflect the work in both musical and cultural studies of a
distinguished scholar whose international career spans the Atlantic
and beyond.
