Zusatztext An impressive achievement, offering a provocative and useful reappraisal of a key phase in the history of musicology. Its clear organization, as well as pithy and unpretentious prose, make it accessible to advanced students as well as scholars, and I have no doubt that it will continue to stimulate further work in this field for years to come. Informationen zum Autor Kevin C. Karnes is Assistant Professor of Music History at Emory University. He is co-editor of the revised and expanded edition of Brahms and His World (2009) and author of articles on a variety of nineteenth-century topics published in 19th-Century Music, the Journal of the Royal Musical Association, and other periodicals. Klappentext More than a century after Guido Adler's appointment to the first chair in musicology at the University of Vienna, Music, Criticism, and the Challenge of History provides a first look at the discipline in this earliest period, and at the ideological dilemmas and methodological anxieties that characterized it upon its institutionalization. Author Kevin Karnes contends that some of the most vital questions surrounding musicology's disciplinary identities today-the relationship between musicology and criticism, the role of the subject in analysis and the narration of history, and the responsibilities of the scholar to the listening public-originate in these conflicted and largely forgotten beginnings. Zusammenfassung Examining pioneering and long-forgotten scholarly contributions by Eduard Hanslick, Guido Adler, and Heinrich Schenker, this book argues that music study, at the time of its academic institutionalization in the late 19th century, was a deeply conflicted endeavor.
