Reviving Haydn: New Appreciations in the Twentieth Century examines both the decline and the subsequent resurgence of Haydn's reputation in an effort to better understand the forces that shape critical reception on a broad scale.\n\n No single person or event marked the turning point for Haydn's reputation. Instead a broad resurgence reshaped opinion in Europe and the United States in short order. The Haydn revival engaged many of the music world's leading figures -- composers (Vincent d'Indy and Arnold Schoenberg), conductors (Arturo Toscanini), performers (Wanda Landowska), critics (Lawrence Gilman), and scholars (Heinrich Schenker and Donald Tovey) -- each of whom valued Haydn's music for specific reasons and used it to advance particular goals. Yet each advocated for a rehearing and rereading of the composer's works, calling for a new appreciation of Haydn's music.\n\n  Bryan Proksch is Assistant Professor of Music History at Lamar University.","brand":"Boydell \u0026 Brewer Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49584688857432,"sku":"9781580465120","price":107.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9781580465120__676f7dd4d9d7d.jpg?v=1741159753","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/reviving-haydn-new-appreciations-in-the-twentieth-century","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
