Bøker av Tanya Kevorkian

Challenging ideas of 'elite' and 'popular' culture, Tanya Kevorkian examines five central and southern German towns - Augsburg, Munich, Erfurt, Gotha, and Leipzig - to reconstruct a vibrant urban musical culture held in common by townspeople of all ranks.

Drawing upon an array of sources from archives in Leipzig, Dresden and Halle, this work illuminates culture in Leipzig before and during J S Bach's time spent in the city. It shows that high Baroque culture emerged through a combination of traditional frameworks and practices, and an infusion of change that set in from around 1680.
