Nineteenth-Century Piano Music (Studies in Musical Genres and Repertories) /

The piano was the musical instrument of choice in the nineteenth century, emerging as a symbol of respectability, domesticity, and sentimentality. Yet as familiar as the nineteenth-century piano repertoire has become, recent scholarship has brought a new and exciting complexity to our understanding of the music. The book examines the current critical approaches to the scholarly reexamination of 19th-century solo piano music, focusing on the representative works of eight major composers. There are numerous musical examples throughout the book.
