Summary:

This book investigates the relationship between music and war from the end of the XVIII century to WWI, and aims to investigate that relationship by adopting a larger time-span: from the end of eighteenth century until the outbreak of the First World War. Bringing together more than twenty case studies dealing with several European wars, it also investigates the evolution of the perception of the sound of war, and proposes new perspectives based on recent music and war studies.
