How to Listen to and Understand Great Music, 3rd Edition
Romantic-era Musical Nationalism
S1 E43:
This lecture examines the trend of folkloric musical nationalism during the second half of the 19th century with a brief history, followed by a discussion of musical exoticism. Ultimately, the lecture turns to Franz Liszt, perhaps the most representative instrumental virtuoso/composer of the 19th century, and his composition Totentanz.
