Nationalism in Late Nineteenth Century Viennese Musical Life

Late nineteenth-century Vienna was a diverse and politically complex city, and the centre of a thriving musical scene. Discover how politics and music were highly intertwined, particularly in regard to nationalism, and how musical works found themselves in the crossfire of different political camps. In studying the city’s musical life, focusing on the music and reception of composers such as Wagner, Brahms, and Dvořák, we can gain deeper insights into crucial issues faced by the declining Austro-Hungarian Empire.
