Why do concert halls all over the world feature mostly the works of German and Austrian composers as their standard repertoire? Over the past three centuries, supporters of German music ranging from music scholars to politicians have nurtured the notion that the German-speaking world possesses a peculiar strength in the cultivation of music. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e This book explores the questions of how music came to be associated with German identity, when and how Germans came to be regarded as the \"people of music,\" and how music came to be designated as \"the most German art.\" Drawing on the expertise of leading scholars in German history, musicology, and German literature, the essays assembled here examine philosophy, literature, politics, and social currents, as well as the creation and performance of folk music, art music, church music, jazz, and pop to explore the ways in which music has continued to play a central role in the German national imagination and in shaping German identity.\u003ch3\u003eFront Jacket\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eConcert halls all over the world feature mostly the works of German and Austrian composers as their standard repertoire: composers like the three Bs of classical music, Bach, Beethoven, and Brahms, all of whom are German. Over the past three centuries, many supporters of German music have even nurtured the notion that the German-speaking world possesses a peculiar strength in the cultivation of music. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis book brings together seventeen contributors from the fields of musicology, ethnomusicology, history, and German literature to explore these questions: how music came to be associated with German identity, when and how Germans came to be regarded as the people of music, and how music came to be designated the most German of arts. Unlike previous volumes on this topic, many of which focused primarily on Wagner and Nazism, the essays here are wide-ranging and comprehensive, examining philosophy, literature, politics, and social currents as well as the creation and performance of folk music, art music, church music, jazz, rock, and pop. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe result is a striking volume, adeptly addressing the complexity and variety of ways in which music insinuated itself into the German national imagination and how it has continued to play a central role in the shaping of a German identity. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eContributors to this volume: \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eCelia Applegate\u003cbr\u003eDoris L.
