Item description from seller

Print on Demand. This book takes a critical look at the American musical landscape in the 1890s, a period of immense change and growth in the nation's cultural life. The author explores the rise of a thriving opera scene and the increasing popularity of musical performances, but also observes a trend of overwhelming favoritism towards foreign artists and composers. The author laments the lack of support for native American talent, arguing that an over-reliance on imported musical stars stifles the development of a unique American musical identity. The bookâ₠™s central thesis is that the prioritization of foreign talent, driven by the publicâ₠™s fascination with foreign stars and the financial incentives of impresarios, creates an unhealthy environment for the cultivation of American music. The author argues for a shift in cultural priorities, urging readers to embrace and support their own native artists and composers. The book's insights into the relationship between national identity and musical expression offer a unique and compelling perspective on the development of American musical culture. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book.
