Hardcover. Zustand: Very Good. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Very Good. 2nd Edition. Second, revised, edition. Hardback in dustwrapper. 22 × 14cm, 363pp. Originally published in 1946 as English Chamber Music, this work rapidly established itself not only as the standard general account of the richest period of English music composition, but as an outstanding example of the study of cultural history. Inspired by the work of English social historians, principally R H Tawney, Meyer set out to represent a period of musical history as a natural part of a general social development. In doing so he found himself confronting such questions as: what was the reason for the for the appearance of so extensive and significant a period of art? Why was its music unknown on the continent? Why did it not become the pride at least of the English people themselves? Condition: This copy is in very good condition, with just a little light wear.
