Zusatztext Vanishing Sensibilities stages uncanny encounters with historical familiars: we hear the rustle of their voices, sense the aura of their secret histories and desires. By refusing to take her subjects at face value, Kristina Muxfeldt grants them a more humanly plausible range of tone and intent. Informationen zum Autor Kristina Muxfeldt is a musicologist on the faculty of the Jacobs School of Music, Indiana University. She specializes in music history, and the intersections of analysis, biography and reception, especially the cultural and social environment around early nineteenth-century music in Vienna. Her work on Schubert, Schumann, and early Romanticism has been widely read. She taught previously at Yale University and has held visiting appointments at the University of Illinois, Princeton University, and the University of Notre Dame. Klappentext Vanishing Sensibilities examines music of Schubert, Beethoven, Schumann, and their contemporaries in drama and poetry, showing how music was a powerful force in lively ongoing conversations about the nature of liberty, consent in marriage, freedom of expression, and other matters of cultural and political urgency in this age of censorship.
