The Routledge Handbook of Music and Migration
The Routledge Handbook of Music and Migration: Theories and Methodologies is a progressive, transdisciplinary paradigm-shifting core text for music and migration studies. Conceptualized as a comprehensive methodological and theoretical guide, it foregrounds the mobile potentials of music and presents key arguments about why musical expressions matter in the discussion of migration politics. 24 international specialists in music and migration set methodological and theoretical standards for transdisciplinary collaborations in the field of migration studies, discussing 41 keywords, such as mobility, community, research ethics, human rights, and critical whiteness in the context of music and mi...
Women and the Nineteenth-Century Lied
This book bridges a gap in existing scholarship by foregrounding the contribution of women to the nineteenth-century Lied. Building on the pioneering work of scholars in recent years, it consolidates recent research on women’s achievements in the genre, and develops an alternative narrative of the Lied that embraces an understanding of the contributions of women, and of the contexts of their engagement with German song and related genres. Lieder composers including Fanny Hensel, Clara Schumann, Pauline Viardot-Garcia and Josephine Lang are considered with a stimulating variety of analytical approaches. In addition to the focus on composers associated with history and theory of the Lied, th...
Studien zur Musikwissenschaft - Beihefte der Denkmäler der Tonkunst in Österreich. Band 62
Wie keine andere Quellengattung eröffnen Ego-Dokumente Einblicke in die musikalische Alltagsgeschichte und in die Gedankenwelt von Personen, die mit Musik umgehen, in ihre Wahrnehmungen, ihre Intentionen und ihre Erinnerung. Es sind Zeugnisse der Selbstwahrnehmung und der Selbstdarstellung, sei es im privaten Bereich der Korrespondenz und des Tagebuchs, sei es auch in der gedruckten Form von autobiographischen Schriften. Band 62 der Studien zur Musikwissenschaft bietet Informationen über biographische Dokumente mit Musikbezug, die aus der Zeitspanne zwischen der Französischen Revolution und dem Ersten Weltkrieg stammen und in Forschungen der letzten Jahre entdeckt oder wiederentdeckt wurden.
Classical Concert Studies
Classical Concert Studies: A Companion to Contemporary Research and Performance is a landmark publication that maps out a new interdisciplinary field of Concert Studies, offering fresh ways of understanding the classical music concert in the twenty-first century. It brings together essays, research articles, and case studies from scholars and music professionals including musicians, music managers, and concert designers. Gathering both historical and contemporary cases, the contributors draw on approaches from sociology, ethnology, musicology, cultural studies, and other disciplines to create a rich portrait of the classical concert’s past, present, and future. Based on two earlier volumes published in German under the title Das Konzert (The Concert), and with a selection of new chapters written for the English edition, this companion enables students, researchers, and practitioners in the classical and contemporary music fields to understand this emerging field of research, go beyond traditional disciplinary boundaries and methodologies, and spark a renaissance for the classical concert.
The Songs of Johanna Kinkel
Drawing on a wealth of unpublished sources surrounding Kinkel, this book explores the extent to which Kinkel's Lieder reflect and transcend compositional-aesthetic, cultural, and socio-political facets typically associated with the first half of the nineteenth century.
New Perspectives on Imagology
With this volume, the editors Katharina Edtstadler, Sandra Folie, and Gianna Zocco propose an extension of the traditional conception of imagology as a theory and method for studying the cultural construction and literary representation of national, usually European characters. Consisting of an instructive introduction and 21 articles, the book relates this sub-field of comparative literature to contemporary political developments and enriches it with new interdisciplinary, transnational, intersectional, and intermedial perspectives. The contributions offer [1] a reconsideration and update of the field’s methods, genres, and theoretical frames; [2] trans-/post-national, migratory, and marginalized perspectives beyond the European nation-state; [3] insights into geopolitical dichotomies such as Orient/Occident; [4] intersectional approaches considering the entanglements of national images with notions of age, class, gender, sexuality, and ethnicity/race; [5] investigations of the role of national images in visual narratives and music.

Musik-Stammbücher
Die Vielfalt der musikbezogenen Stammbuchpraxis im Europa des 19. Jahrhunderts, die das Sammeln von Notenautographen ebenso wie von Zeichnungen und Gedichten umfasste, wird in der Diskussion von Musik-Stammbüchern wieder lebendig. Ob Komponist, Berufsmusiker, Instrumentalistin oder Sängerin, Dichter, Künstlergattin oder musikbegeisterter Dilettant – gehörte man zu den künstlerischen Eliten des 19. Jahrhunderts, konnte man sich der zeitgenössischen Leidenschaft für Erinnerungsalben kaum entziehen. Musikbezogene Stammbücher, in denen signierte oder gewidmete Notenautographe ebenso wie Zeichnungen und Verse gesammelt wurden, hat die Forschung bislang wenig beachtet. Dieser ersten grö...
Musik und Biographie
Unter dem Motto MUSIK und BIOGRAPHIE vereinigt die Festschrift zum 60. Geburtstag des Berliner Musikwissenschaftlers Rainer Cadenbach vielfältige Aufsätze zur Wechselwirkung von musikalischem Schaffen und Aspekten der Biographie sowie zur Problematik biographischer Forschung. Die Auswahl der Autoren (darunter Beatrix Borchardt, Elmar Budde, Arnfried Edler, Michael Heinemann, Hans-Joachim Hinrichsen, Freia Hoffmann, Annette Kreutziger-Herr, William Kinderman, Helmut Loos, Wolfgang Rathert, Peter Rummenhöller, Christian Martin Schmidt, Dieter Schnebel, Giselher Schubert u. v. a.) bürgt für eine größtmögliche Fülle von Betrachtungsweisen. Dabei geht es vor allem um das "und": Der Blick erstreckt sich sowohl auf Autobiographisches in der Musik und im künstlerischen Schaffensprozess als auch auf die musikalische Darstellung "fiktiver Biographien" oder den Zusammenhang von Interpretation und Erfahrung. Einige Beiträge aus benachbarten Disziplinen runden die Festschrift ab und zeugen damit zugleich von den breit gestreuten Forschungsinteressen des Jubilars.
Composing the Modern Subject: Four String Quartets by Dmitri Shostakovich
Since the publication of Solomon Volkov's disputed memoirs of Dmitri Shostakovich, the composer and his music has been subject to heated debate concerning how the musical meaning of his works can be understood in relationship to the composer's life within the Soviet State. While much ink has been spilled, very little work has attempted to define how Shostakovich's music has remained so arresting not only to those within the Soviet culture, but also to Western audiences - even though such audiences are often largely ignorant of the compositional context or even the biography of the composer. This book offers a useful corrective: setting aside biographically grounded and traditional analytical...
