A concise anthology including a wide range of nineteenth-century music.
Anthology for Music in the Nineteenth Century
, part of the
Western Music in Context
series, is the ideal companion to
Music in the Nineteenth Century
. Twenty-three carefully chosen works—including movements from a Beethoven quartet, excerpts from operas by Verdi and Bizet, piano music by Gottschalk, and a symphonic movement by Tchaikovsky—offer representative examples of genres and composers of the period. Commentaries following each score present a careful analysis of the music, and online links to purchase and download recordings make listening easier than ever.
