How did music learn to speak in passions, dreams, and revolutions? In this classic music history book, Edward Dannreuther traces the Romantic Period with a critic's ear and a historian's discipline. Listen to the nineteenth century. Volume VI of The Oxford History of Music maps the rise of romantic era classical style across nineteenth century Europe, following the changing ideals that reshaped concert life, composition, and performance. Dannreuther brings romantic period composers into focus through clear musical judgement and cultural context, balancing narrative sweep with close attention to music criticism and aesthetics. The result is a classical music reference volume that still rewards browsing and sustained reading alike, whether you are checking a name, testing an idea, or building a fuller sense of the history of western music. Long valued by classical music scholars and musicology students, this volume stands as a significant witness to early modern musicology and the making of English-language musical scholarship, a useful companion alongside staples such as the Grove Music Encyclopedia and Cambridge Music History. Out of print for decades and now republished by Alpha Editions, it is restored for today's and future generations. More than a reprint -- a collector's item and a cultural treasure, and an essential piece for anyone assembling a complete series set of enduring music literature.
