Cultivating Music: The Aspirations, Interests, and Limits, of German Musical Culture, 1770-1848 Hardcover - 2002
by David Gramit
First line
One of the most suggestive of the many descriptions of musical activity in the autobiography of the Austrian poet Franz Grillparzer dates from his youth in the first decade of the nineteenth century, during the terminal illness of his father: In my melancholy mood at that time I truly felt the need for an external diversion.
From the rear cover
"By defining the notion of music as high art in terms of power and authority, David Gramit has removed rigid, canonic assumptions from the study of musical culture of the early nineteenth century, and he has made a major contribution to that subject. The book should be widely read."--William Weber, author of Music and the Middle Class: The Social Structure of Concert Life in London, Paris and Vienna between 1830 and 1848
"An important, rich, and multifaceted examination of the growth of bourgeois musical culture. Gramit founds his work on the idea that 'music' is the entire cultural, philosophical, political, social, and economic nexus of practices involved in producing, reproducing, and using the notes 'themselves.' The book paints a fascinating picture of the particular resonance of music in early nineteenth century German culture; but Gramit also shows us the origins of many ideas that determine classical music practices today."--Mary Hunter, author of The Culture of Opera Buffa in Mozart's Vienna
