Description

A History of the Symphony: The Grand Genre explores the cultural forces that have shaped symphonic music over three centuries, offering a comprehensive view of the entire genre's evolution. This Routledge text moves beyond individual composer analysis to examine what defines a symphony across different historical periods, demonstrating how these works reflected the lives and contexts of both composers and audiences. Rather than treating symphonies as isolated artistic achievements, the book reveals them as products of external social, political, and artistic influences that drove their creation and development throughout history.

Key Features

A History of the Symphony by Routledge provides unified coverage of three centuries of symphonic development and cultural context.

The text defines what constitutes a symphony within each historical period rather than offering only stylistic analysis.

This classical music history book connects symphonies to the lives of composers and audiences of their respective eras.

Routledge's comprehensive approach recognises symphonies as products of external forces shaping their creation and reception.
