First published in 1975, Music and the Middle Class made a
trail-blazing contribution to the social history of music, bringing
together sociological and historical methods that have subsequently
become accepted as central to the discipline of musicology.
Moreover, the major themes of the book are ones which scholars
today continue to grapple with: the nature of the middle class(es)
and their role in cultural definition; the concept of taste publics
distinct from social status; and the establishment of the musical
canon. This classic text is reissued here in Ashgate's Music in
Nineteenth-Century Britain series, though of course the book ranges
beyond its study of London to discuss in detail the contrasting
concert life of Paris and Vienna. This edition features a
substantial new preface which takes into account the significant
work that has been done in this field since the book first
appeared, and provides a unique opportunity to assess the impact
the book has had on our thinking about the European middle class
and its role in musical life.
