New Perspectives on Status and Identity
Herausgeber: Golding, Rosemary

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Professionalisation was a key feature of the changing nature of work and society in the nineteenth century, with formal accreditation, registration and organisation becoming increasingly common. Contributors investigate the ways in which musicians viewed their own identities, public perceptions of the working musician, the statuses of different sectors of the profession, and attempts to manipulate both status and identity. The essays demonstrate the wide range of sectors within the music profession, the different ways in which these took on status and identity, and the unique position of professional musicians both to adopt and to challenge social norms.
