This volume is the first reference study devoted to early
American musicologists. It brings together a vast variety of
logically arranged information, including biographical resumes of
each subject, complete chronological listings of their writings,
and published and unpublished sources for study of each scholar's
intellectual production. Steinzor's introduction provides a
fascinating overview of the historical evolution of musicological
writing in this country and offers some valuable suggestions for
further research. This definitive work will be of interest to
musicologists, historians, teachers of music history, and anyone
engaged in the study of music.
This bibliography identifies basic research materials for the
study of the establishment of musicology in this country. It
contains bio-bibliographies for 35 American musicologists,
including 19 native-born Americans and 16 European scholars,
selected by virtue of their central roles in the development of
musicological research, pedagogy, and publication, and by their
formal association with the earliest practitioners of the
discipline. Although many of their careers have continued well past
the period ending in 1945, their writings from about 1890 to the
end of World War II represent the critical, formative period of
American musicology.
