David Conway analyses why and how Jews, virtually absent from
Western art music until the end of the eighteenth century, came to
be represented in all branches of the profession within fifty years
as leading figures - not only as composers and performers, but as
publishers, impresarios and critics. His study places this process
in the context of dynamic economic, political, sociological and
technological changes and also of developments in Jewish
communities and the Jewish religion itself, in the major cultural
centres of Western Europe. Beginning with a review of attitudes to
Jews in the arts and an assessment of Jewish music and musical
skills, in the age of the Enlightenment, Conway traces the story of
growing Jewish involvement with music through the biographies of
the famous, the neglected and the forgotten, leading to a radical
contextualisation of Wagner's infamous 'Judaism in Music'.
