Music for the melodramatic theatre in nineteenth-century London & New York
1 online resource (xxvi, 386 pages .) : illustrations.
Throughout the nineteenth century, people heard more music in the theatre-accompanying popular dramas such as Frankenstein, Oliver Twist, Uncle Tom's Cabin, Lady Audley's Secret, The Corsican Brothers, The Three Musketeers, as well as historical romances by Shakespeare and Schiller-than they did in almost any other area of their lives. But unlike film music, theatrical music has received very little attention from scholars and so it has been largely lost to us. In this groundbreaking study, Michael V. Pisani goes in search of these abandoned sounds.
