"""In her lively and absorbing study of musical life in fin-de-siècle Rio de Janeiro, Cristina Magaldi reveals how, in the creation, performance and consumption of music, people were able to explore and appraise social and cultural ties with others, both local and distant. By adopting a cosmopolitan perspective on city experience, cultural transfer, and early modernity, she deepens our understanding of music history in global rather than narrowly national terms."" * Derek B. Scott, author of Sounds of the Metropolis and co-editor of Confronting the National in the Musical Past * ""An impressive panorama of the transnational and transcultural experiences that shaped the urban soundscape of Rio de Janeiro in the aftermath of monarchy and slavery. In a series of engaging case studies, Magaldi follows artists, communities, businesses, and specific musical works to make sense of the complex net of meanings that permeated the fragmented visions of modernity that emerged in this cosmopolitan city in the tropics."" * Rogerio Budasz, Professor of Music, University of California--Riverside *"
