The symphony has long been entangled with ideas of self and value.
Though standard historical accounts suggest that composers'
interest in the symphony was almost extinguished in the early
1930s, this book makes plain the genre's continued cultural
dominance, and argues that the symphony can illuminate issues
around space/geography, race, and postcolonialism in Germany,
France, Mexico, and the United States. Focusing on a number of
symphonies composed or premiered in 1933, this book recreates some
of the cultural and political landscapes of an uncertain historical
moment-a year when Hitler took power in Germany, and the Great
Depression reached its peak in the United States. Interwar
Symphonies and the Imagination asks what North American and
European symphonies from the early 1930s can tell us about how
people imagined selfhood during a period of international
insecurity and political upheaval, of expansionist and colonial
fantasies, scientised racism, and emergent fascism.
