His study places this process in the context of dynamic economic, political, sociological and technological changes and also of developments in Jewish communities and the Jewish religion itself, in the major cultural centres of Western Europe. Beginning with a review of attitudes to Jews in the arts and an assessment of Jewish music and musical skills, in the age of the Enlightenment, Conway traces the story of growing Jewish involvement with music through the biographies of the famous, the neglected and the forgotten, leading to a new and radical contextualisation of Wagner's infamous 'Judaism in Music'. 606 $aJews$xMusic$xHistory and criticism 606 $aJews in music 615 0$aJews$xMusic$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aJews in music. 676 $a780.89/924 700 $aConway$b David$f1950-$01843915 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910969347903321 996 $aJewry in music$94425893 997 $aUNINA
