Title: The Musician As Entrepreneur, 1700-1914
Description: "The Musician as Entrepreneur, 1700-1914 examines the activities of a variety of musical entrepreneurs in Britain, France, Germany, and the United States." "The ten contributors to the book explore the work of early musical entrepreneurs, concert management in the nineteenth century, the lives of entrepreneurial women musicians, and the moral and intellectual status of musical entrepreneurs. By studying how musical entrepreneurs conducted their daily business activities, we gain insight into how they were able to reshape the framework of musical culture, and in the process, the nature of music itself."--Jacket.
