Zwischen Romantik und Restauration
Musik im Realismus-Diskurs 1848 bis 1871 (German Edition)
by Martin Geck
Paperback, 224 Pages, Published 2001 by J.B. Metzler
ISBN-13: 978-3-476-01867-0, ISBN: 3-476-01867-9

"Realismus in der Musik? Indem Martin Geck bedeutende Werke von Schumann, Wagner, Berlioz, Liszt, Mahler und Brahms der Epoche des Realismus zuweist, zeichnet er einen spannenden politisch-ästhetischen Diskurs nach. Dabei positioniert er die Meisterwerke der Musik zwischen den Vorwürfen der Selbstverliebtheit einerseits und der Politiksüchtigkeit andererseits. Somit entsteht ein völlig neues Bild der Musikgeschichte des 19. Jahrhunderts."
