Reviews & endorsements
"...highly recommended to advanced students, scholars, and (fairly sophisticated) readers in general. With its interesting viewpoints and wealth of information, it will make a valuable addition to the bibliography of surveys of the period." Journal of Musicological Research
"After more than three decades of discovery and controversy about Western at music of the 19th century, Samson ... has put together a collection that articulates contemporary understanding of that era's major issues.... Bringing together material heretofore dispersed in journals and hard-to-find collections, this volume is recommended for academic, professional, and public collections at all levels." Choice
