Spanning a remarkable two hundred years and traversing over a dozen countries, this insightful exploration reveals how musicians and audiences have responded to a shared human experience by transcending geographical and national boundaries, embracing cultural diversity.
Within the pages of this book, readers will encounter a diverse range of topics, including:
Musical cosmopolitanism among composers in Latin America, the Ottoman Empire, and Austro-Hungarian Empire.
Cosmopolitan popular music historiography, which examines the ways in which music has been shaped by global cultural exchanges.
Cosmopolitan musical entrepreneurs, who have played a crucial role in promoting cross-cultural collaborations and exchanges.
Musical cosmopolitanism in the metropolises of New York and Shanghai, where diverse musical traditions converge and interact.
By examining these topics in depth, the book offers valuable insights into the complex dynamics of music, culture, and identity, challenging readers to think beyond traditional boundaries and embrace a more inclusive and cosmopolitan perspective. Whether you are a music enthusiast, historian, or scholar, this collection will provide you with a wealth of knowledge and inspiration for further exploration.
