Program music was one of the most flexible and contentious
novelties of the long nineteenth century, covering a diverse range
that included the overtures of Beethoven and Mendelssohn, the
literary music of Berlioz and Schumann, Liszt's symphonic poems,
the tone poems of Strauss and Sibelius, and compositions by groups
of composers in Russia, Bohemia, the United States, and France. In
this accessible Introduction, Jonathan Kregor explores program
music's ideas and repertoire, discussing both well-known and less
familiar pieces by an array of nineteenth- and twentieth-century
composers. Setting program music in the context of the intellectual
debates of the period, Kregor presents the criticism of writers
like A. B. Marx and Hanslick to reveal program music's growth,
dissemination, and reception. This comprehensive overview features
numerous illustrations and music examples and provides detailed
case studies of battle music, Shakespeare settings, and Goethe's
Faust.
