商品簡介
Updated by a new preface that examines recent research in the field since the original 1975 production of the text, this work explores the history of musical concert life in London, Paris, and Vienna in the 1830s and 40s, a period which witnessed differing levels of growth in the performance of public concerts. Weber (history, California State U. at Long Beach) explores the role of the middle class as a concert public in defining musical taste and performance institutions.
