Symphonic Aspirations
Examines the politicization of musical listening in Germany and Austria, showing how nationalism, anti-Semitism, liberalism, and socialism profoundly affected the experience of serious music. This book traces the changes in critical discourse that reflected to the historical conditions of the fin de siecle, World War I, and the Nazi regime.
