Can it depict scenes, narrate stories, elucidate beliefs? And can it be an instrument through which we access the inner lives not only of musicians from the past but of ourselves, today? In this book five scholars and performers probe these and related questions to illuminate both the experience and performance of nineteenth-century music. Drawing on a rich range of sources, they reveal the musical thought and practice of canonical composers like Berlioz, Mendelssohn, and Schumann. Their work challenges us to reconsider our musical practices and the voices manifested in them, and it encourages the creation of an art that is both historical and transcendental Bibliography Includes bibliographical references Notes Print version record Subject Vocal music -- Europe -- 19th century -- History and criticism Instrumental music -- Europe -- 19th century -- History and criticism Composers -- Europe MUSIC -- Genres & Styles -- Classical.
