description

http://schema.org/description

  • ""This volume describes the cultural environment of Europe after the Napoleonic Wars, a century when the military is associated with the highest society. Consequently military bands reached a great climax and by the 1860s were performing serious music before larger audiences than at any time in the history of bands. On the other hand, the financial strain on the aristocratic courts to finance the Napoleonic Wars led to the dissolution of the long tradition of their Hautboisten and Harmoniemusik small bands. In the period of peace after the wars, however, new civic societies came into being which sponsored chamber music for wind ensembles. Much of the repertoire which was created for these societies, from the Reicha quintets to the Gounod petite symphonie, are in the repertoire to the present day."--P. [4] of cover."
