This handbook seeks to reanimate the music, institutions, and audiences that made up the cultural middle in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries by investigating the wealth of middlebrow culture that bridged the space between highbrow and lowbrow music. With case studies ranging from symphonic concerts to Broadway musicals, from opera criticism to rock journalism, it brings together scholars of classical and popular music to present a new, enriched narrative of music history.
