Reviews
"Worth investigation by anyone interested in the culture of this period or the composers discussed." * Times Literary Supplement *
"Ploughs new ground. . . . A fascinating study [and] a challenging mixture of literary and musical analysis." * Opera Journal *
"A rewarding and valuable study not only because of its insight and richness but also because of the accompanying reproductions of musical scores." * Slavic & East European Journal *
"Morrison draws on an impressive array of sources and disciplines.... His use of contemporary secondary sources is particularly effective, given his interest in the culture of reception." * Slavic Review *
"Morrison's book has become a standard reading-list item and the accepted starting point for the researches of a new generation of graduate students. Ideas that were striking and fresh [when first published] have become common currency-a tribute to the book's success." * Journal of the American Musicological Society *
