Romantic Music: A History of Musical Style in Nineteenth-Century Europe
I had to get this for my Graduate course. It is very informative and specific.
Rating: 4 / 5
This was the book chosen by my professor for an undergraduate music history course, and I can safely say that it is an excellent textbook. Plantinga’s writing style is wonderfully clear and to the point, and well… respected musicologists become respected for a reason. Plantinga is one of the foremost authorities on 19th century music, and his knowledge and scholarship are extremely evident throughout the book. I would advise all music professors teaching 19th century music history courses to consider this textbook before all others.
