Reviews

'This collection adds usefully to Ashgate's Music in Nineteenth-Century Britain series. Rodmell hopes that the book will demonstrate the sheer diversity of the period's musical structures, the processes through which nineteenth century music became institutionalized and institutions musicalized, and the consequent growth in musicians' self-confidence as they increasingly escaped from systems of patronage and sought both individual and collective improvement. It largely succeeds in these aims and certainly provides plentiful material for later scholars to build upon. Fertile territory has been thoughtfully marked out. NABMSA Newsletter
