A Nineteenth-Century Musical Chronicle: Events, 1800-1899

by Charles J. Hall

This is the second of a three-volume survey that chronicles musical history since 1750. This reference presents a panorama that centres on music but also lists important world events, cultural activities and distinguished contributions in both art and literature. The format places a mine of music-related information about everyone who was anyone in any specific year at the reader's fingertips. It contains census and political information, as well as scientific discoveries, world exploration and more to create a complete yearly overview. Information for the Chronicle has been gathered from recognized authorities, magazines, newspapers and from primary sources and is organized on a year-by-year format beginning with 1800.
