European, British, and American Musical Instrument Collectors, 1850-1940
Author: Christina Linsenmeyer
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 9781032105093
Category : Art
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
The contributors to this volume examine musical instrument collectors and their reasons and means for collecting: Who were they professionally and personally? Why did they collect musical instruments? How did they acquire their objects? What were their collecting criteria and aesthetics? Following a critical introduction, two chapters on historically overlooked yet essential themes - provenance, and collecting in the context of colonialism - lay the foundation for nineteen chapters, each on an individual collector, telling personal and individual stories of collecting and collections. These narratives illuminate a rich contextual history, including the factors that shaped each collector's acquisition and use of objects. Because many private collections later became the mainstay of institutional ones, this volume holds that it is essential to understand these collectors and historical collecting practices, in order to understand our museum collections today. The book will be of interest to scholars working in material culture, collecting and museum studies, music history, and organology.

Book Description
Excerpt from A Handbook of the Musical Instrument Collection of the Commercial Museum PhiladelphiaIn my travels throughout the exotic orient, the enchanting Pacific islands and mysterious Africa I was often deeply moved by the strangely exciting musical cultures I encountered. Fin. Java and Bali there was the majestic and ecstatic ringing of the'5 ceremonial gongs; in a Tibetan monastery there was the noble intoning of the lamaist monks playing the long copper trtimpets; in Africa and Haiti4 - the frenzied vitality of the combat of rhythms of war drums. Often I have Wished that lovers of great symphonic music in our country could hear these wonderful sounds and see the magnificent instruments which made them. Now, thanks to the exhibit and to the handbook by Dr. Barone, it will be possible for many more of us to become familiar with the musical instruments and cultures of other lands.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
