ISBN: 9780822369509 / Angielski / Miękka / 408 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In Making Light Raymond Knapp traces the musical legacy of German Idealism as it led to the declining prestige of composers such as Haydn while influencing the development of American popular music in the nineteenth century. Knapp identifies in Haydn and in early popular American musical cultures such as minstrelsy and operetta a strain of high camp--a mode of engagement that relishes both the superficial and serious aspects of an aesthetic experience--that runs antithetical to German Idealism's musical paradigms. By considering the disservice done to Haydn by German Idealism alongside...
