From Gypsy to Bohemian: A Study of the Musical Rhapsody: 41 (Speculum Musicae, 41) - Tapa dura

From Gypsy to Bohemian (Hardcover)

Hardcover. Condición: new. Hardcover. This volume examines the concept of rhapsody through a broad lens. Beginning with a discussion of the meaning(s) of the term itself, it then traces the history and reception of the genre and its significance in European culture. It argues for a close relationship between the idea of rhapsody and the concept of Gypsiness by demonstrating that 'rhapsody' and 'Gypsiness' can be seen as manifestations of the same types of influence and preferences for certain aesthetic categories. The book pays special attention to the seminal role of Franz Liszt in its discussion of the instrumental rhapsody. Ultimately, it reveals the consequences of historiographical representations of the rhapsody (e.g. the ossification of the image of the European Gypsy musician as a bard/rhapsode, the fossilization of presumptions concerning the nature of so-called 'Gypsies') as well as unexpected similarities and differences between the rhapsody and the ballad as romantic genres with national implications. Winner of the 2024 Triennial Alan Walker Book Award This monograph investigates the history and the reception of the rhapsody.
