After an opening discussion of the time-honoured notion of "Weimar Culture" and its tendency to obscure parts of the contemporary...

Whose Spain?: Negotiating Spanish Music in Paris, 1908-1929
ISBN: 9780199858460 / Angielski / Twarda / 312 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. From the very beginning of the nineteenth century, many elements of Spanish culture carried an air of 'exoticism' for the French-and nothing played more important of a role in shaping the French idea of Spain than the country's musical tradition. However, as Samuel Llano argues in Whose Spain?, perceptions and representations of Spanish musical identities changed in the early twentieth century, due to the emergence of the hispanistes. These specialists on Spanish music and culture, who wrote encyclopedic and 'scientific' articles on 'Spanish music, ' strived to endow the...

Composing the Canon in the German Democratic Republic: Narratives of Nineteenth-Century Music
ISBN: 9780199998098 / Angielski / Twarda / 264 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. When the German Democratic Republic (GDR) was founded in 1949, its leaders did not position it as a new state.

The GDR was heralded as the second German Enlightenment, a society in which the rational ideals of progress, Bildung, and revolution that had first come to fruition with Goethe and Beethoven would finally achieve their apotheosis. Central to this founding myth was the Germanic musical heritage. Just as the canon had defined the idea of the German nation in the...
