First published in 2002, this comprehensive overview of music in the nineteenth century draws on extensive scholarship in the field.
Jim Samson is Stanley Hugh Badock Professor of Music at the University of Bristol.
'This is indeed a comprehensive, impressive overview of the music of the period in question. It succeeds in this because Jim Samson has assembled an equally impressive selection of Anglo-American musicological minds to write it with him ... there is in fact nothing gimmicky here, but much to admire ... the book ... on its own terms ... remains a significant contribution to the current literature, of which any publisher should be proud.'
