"This volume epitomizes Jost Hermand's inimitable talent of
synthesizing wide-ranging disciplines in an accessible and
compelling style, bringing to life the experiences of musicians and
their public in the context of their own times. These essays also
give us a glimpse into how his own life experiences created the
hunger for culture that defined his long and illustrious career."
(Pamela M. Potter, Professor of German and Musicology, University
of Wisconsin-Madison) "Jost Hermand's final book is an enormously
rich gift to posterity. The fifteen essays on musical culture that
constitute this collection contain brief but illuminating glimpses
of the whole glorious parade of serious music and those who
composed, cultivated, and commented on it in the German lands, from
Buxtehude to Stockhausen and beyond. His insight and well-observed
contextualization reveals a lifetime of scholarship and
experience." (Celia Applegate, Professor of History, Vanderbilt
University) In contrast to the writings of many other
musicologists, this book is not primarily concerned with the
biographies of certain composers or a structural analysis of their
major compositions, but rather with the stands they took in the
ideological struggles during their lifetimes and how these affected
some of their most important works. Beginning with the late
seventeenth century, special emphasis is thereby given to Pietism,
orthodox Lutheranism, the impact of the French Revolution, the
restrictive measures of the Metternich period, the Wilhelminian
era, Expressionism, the New Objectivity and the materialist
aesthetics of the Weimar Republic, fascism, exile and the modernism
of the early Federal Republic of Germany.
