Description
Most of the basic musical institutions of France were destroyed by the Revolution. What emerged was a musical environment highly sensitive to political trends and public taste, each a powerful but unpredictable force. This seminar looks at the music of the salons and the streets of Paris, grand opera and musical comedy, exoticism and nationalism, and the work of unique figures like Chopin, Berlioz, Liszt and Debussy.
