Vanishing sensibilities

by Kristina Muxfeldt

Cover of Vanishing sensibilities

'Vanishing Sensibilities' examines music of Schubert, Beethoven Schumann, and their contemporaries in drama and poetry, showing how music was a powerful force in lively ongoing conversations about the nature of liberty, consent in marriage, freedom of expression, and other matters of cultural and political urgency in this age of censorship.
