Music in Boston: Composers, Events, and Ideas, 1852-1918 provides insights into the historical, intellectual, and artistic background of Boston's musical culture from just prior to the Civil War through the end of World War I. Through detailed discussions of composers, writings, guest artists, and the rise of Boston's musical institutions, Music in Boston illuminates the era unlike any other volume. |
