Musicking in Twentieth-Century Europe. A Handbook (Klaus Nathaus and Martin Rempe dir.)

Music has gained the increasing attention of historians. Research has branched out to explore music-related topics, including creative labor, economic histories of music production, the social and political uses of music, and musical globalization. This handbook both covers the history of music in Europe and probes its role for the making of Europe during a “long” twentieth century. It offers concise guidance to key historical trends as well as the most important research on central topics within the field.
