Essays dealing with the controversial concept of the "work", and
how far social and cultural practices are integral to it. The
linking theme of the essays collected here is the intersection of
musical work with social and cultural practice. Inspired by
Professor Strohm's ideas, as is fitting in a volume in his honour,
leading scholars in the field explore diverse conceptualizations of
the "work" within the contexts of a specific repertory, over four
main sections. Music in Theory and Practice studies the link
between treatises and musical practice, and analyses how
historicalwritings can reveal period views on the "work" in music
before 1800. Art and Social Process: Music in Court and Urban
Societies looks at the social and cultural practices informing
composition from the late Renaissance until the mid-eighteenth
century, and interrogates current notions of canon formation and
the exchange between local and foreign traditions. Creating an
Opera Industry focuses on how genre and artistic autonomy were
defined in operas from diverse eras and countries, explaining the
role of literature and politics in this process. Finally, The
Crisis of Modernity treats nineteenth-century music, offering new
models for "work" and "context" to challenge reigning theories of
the meaning of these terms. CONTRIBUTORS: AMNON SHILOAH, ANNA MARIA
