Such is the case with the research for this volume...Highly recommended. Lower-division undergraduates and above. Choice ...an excellent guide... Luso-Brazilian Review, (Translation) Magaldi...is primarily concerned with how residents in 19th-century Rio de Janeiro received, perceived, selected, used, and imitated different musical styles imported from Europe, especially from Paris. She focuses on the musical preferences of the local elite -- those who held political and financial power, were involved directly or indirectly with making decisions, and were the local cultural managers.
