Présentation de l'éditeur
To those who are familiar with the broad paths of Musical History, and more particularly with that narrow byway, English Opera, this book may seem to call, perhaps not for an apology, but at any rate for an explanation. So far as I am aware, no book has been wholly devoted either to giving an account of the forces which have influenced theM usical Stage in England, or even to drawing up that catalogue ofO peratic names, dates, and places which, with a few personal likes and dislikes, generally does duty in this country for a serious aesthetic. It is as a first attempt to fill the former gap that this book has been written. My original intention was merely to mark what I may call the high and low-water marks of our English Operatic activity. But, in trying to bring them into some sort of co-ordination with our other national activities, so many difficulties arose, so many perplexing and apparently inexplicable phenomena came to light, that I was compelled to go outside the narrow limits which I had set myself and to study the more general relationships of National life and Musical Productivity.

Music and Nationalism: A Study of English Opera (Classic Reprint)
impression à la demandeVendeur : Forgotten Books, London, Royaume-Uni
Évaluation du vendeur 4 sur 5 étoiles
Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book offers a fascinating exploration of why English opera has failed to flourish in comparison to other nations' musical achievements. The author delves into the history of European music, demonstrating how national growth and expansion often stifled the development of national musical traditions. Through detailed historical analysis, the book contrasts the rise and fall of musical schools in Europe with the simultaneous political, social, and economic developments that shaped each nation's identity. The author examines the misconception that some nations are inherently more "musical" than others, arguing that the potential for musical expression is universal. Instead, the book explores how factors like world power, colonial expansion, and national identity have profoundly influenced the trajectory of music in different countries. The book reveals a complex interplay between national ambition and artistic output, suggesting that the pursuit of world power might have inadvertently stifled the emergence of a distinctive English operatic tradition. This book sheds light on the intricate relationship between national identity and musical development, offering valuable insights into the forces that shape artistic expression across cultures. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
