Audiovisual Returns --Acknowledgments --Notes --Select Bibliography --IndexThe years between roughly 1760 and 1810, a period stretching from the rise of Joseph Haydn's career to the height of Ludwig van Beethoven's, are often viewed as a golden age for musical culture, when audiences started to revel in the sounds of the concert hall. But the latter half of the eighteenth century also saw proliferating optical technologies-including magnifying instruments, magic lanterns, peepshows, and shadow-plays-that offered new performance tools, fostered musical innovation, and shaped the very idea of "pure" music. Haydn's Sunrise, Beethoven's Shadow is a fascinating exploration of the early romantic blending of sight and sound as encountered in popular science, street entertainments, opera, and music criticism. Deirdre Loughridge reveals that allusions in musical writings to optical technologies reflect their spread from fairgrounds and laboratories into public consciousness and a range of discourses, including that of music. She demonstrates how concrete points of intersection-composers' treatments of telescopes and peepshows in opera, for instance, or a shadow-play performance of a ballad-could then fuel new modes of listening that aimed to extend the senses. An illuminating look at romantic musical practices and aesthetics, this book yields surprising relations between the past and present and offers insight into our own contemporary audiovisual culture.Music18th centuryHistory and criticismMusic19th centuryHistory and criticismMixed media (Music)18th centuryHistory and criticismMixed media (Music)19th centuryHistory and criticismMusic and technologyHistory18th centuryMusic and technologyHistory19th centuryMusicHistory and criticism.MusicHistory and criticism.Mixed media (Music)History and criticism.Mixed media (Music)History and criticism.Music and technologyHistoryMusic and technologyHistory780.9033Loughridge Deirdreauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut981014DE-B1597DE-B1597BOOK9910136114603321Haydn's Sunrise, Beethoven's Shadow2238816UNINA
