{"product_id":"the-music-of-the-nineteenth-adolf-bernhard-marx-9781108001021","title":"The Music of the Nineteenth Century and Its Culture","description":"A. B. Marx (1795-1866) was a scholar, teacher and critic of music, for many years Professor of Music at the University of Berlin, and a close friend - before a falling-out over the libretto of an oratorio - of Mendelssohn. This influential book, published in German in 1855 and translated into English in the same year, consists of two parts: a survey of the significance of music to western culture, and an impassioned and thought-provoking guide to the necessary moral qualities, skills and understanding required to teach - and to be taught - music. Marx's appreciation of such composers as Mozart, Beethoven, Berlioz and Wagner is placed in a context in which music is seen as a crucial moral influence on the future development of mankind, and musicians therefore as playing a vital role in that development.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Adolf Bernhard Marx\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1108001025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781108001021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Cambridge University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/20\/2009\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 340\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.10lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.76d","brand":"Adolf Bernhard Marx","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47423409815807,"sku":"9781108001021","price":52.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_efb6545c-8f7f-46c9-b83c-f58aa7dae867.jpg?v=1761528576","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-music-of-the-nineteenth-adolf-bernhard-marx-9781108001021","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
