Amateur Musicians in the Early American Republic

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Cultivated by Hand aligns the overlooked history of amateur musicians in the early years of the United States with little-understood practices of music book making. It reveals the pervasiveness of these practices, particularly among women, and their importance for the construction of gender, class, race, and nation.
