Among these editors were Faur�, Saint-Sa�ns, Debussy, Ravel and Dukas; the objects of their enquiries included core works by Rameau, Bach, Mozart, Beethoven, Mendelssohn, Schumann and Chopin. Presenting six composer-editor case studies, the volume shows that the French 'accent', both musical and cultural, upon this predominantly Austro-German music was highly varied. Editorial responses range from scholarly approaches to those directed by performance or compositional agendas, and from pan-European to strongly patriotic stances. Intriguing intersections are revealed between old and new, and between French and cross-European canons. Beyond editing, the book explores the �dition's role in pedagogy and performance, including by pianists Robert Casadesus and Yvonne Loriod, and in the reassertion of contemporary French composition, especially regarding innovation around neoclassicism. It will interest a wide readership, including musicologists, performers and concert-goers, cultural historians and other humanities scholars.","brand":"Atlantic Books","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46447210954903,"sku":"9781837650323","price":16437.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781837650323.webp?v=1769139747","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/accenting-the-classics-editing-european-music-in-france-1915-1925-9781837650323","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
