Musical Journeys uses vignettes of migratory moments in the works of Hanns Eisler in Paris, M疸y疽 Seiber in London, and Istv疣 Anhalt in Montreal to investigate concepts of identity construction and musical aesthetics in the light of migratory experiences. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eMoving between the Austro-Hungarian Empire, proto-fascist Hungary, fascist Germany, war-time Britain, post-war Canada, and socialist East Germany, the book explores aspects of musical migrant culture including creative responses to nationalist ideas and politics, the role of cultural institutions in promoting (or censoring) the works of immigrant composers, and the complex interaction between Jewish identity and memory. It contends that an approach to music through the lens of migration can challenge and enrich socio-cultural understandings of music as well as conceptions of music historiography. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eDrawing on exile, diaspora, migration and mobilities studies, critical theory, and post-colonial and cultural studies, Musical Journeys weaves detailed biographical and contextual historical knowledge and analytical insights into music into an intricate fabric that does justice to the complexity of the musical migratory experience. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e FLORIAN SCHEDING is Senior Lecturer in Music at the University of Bristol.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Florian Scheding\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1783274611\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781783274611\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Boydell Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/18\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 206\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.03lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.50d","brand":"Florian Scheding","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44125372055807,"sku":"9781783274611","price":105.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_c5d5c217-f74f-42cb-8b7b-0f84865eb78d.jpg?v=1687442242","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/musical-journeys-florian-scheding-9781783274611","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
