Music And Manners In The Classical Period (1898)

Music and Manners in the Classical Period is a book written by Henry Edward Krehbiel and published in 1898. The book explores the relationship between music and society during the classical period, which is generally considered to be the period from the mid-18th century to the early 19th century. Krehbiel examines the social and cultural context in which classical music was created and performed, and how it was received by audiences of the time. He also explores the role of music in shaping and reflecting social norms and values, and how it was used to convey messages and emotions. The book covers a wide range of topics, including the development of classical music, the lives and works of composers such as Mozart, Haydn, and Beethoven, the social and cultural milieu in which they worked, and the etiquette and manners associated with classical music performances. Krehbiel's writing is engaging and informative, and his insights into the social and cultural context of classical music make this book a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of music and society.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
