Political Dreams and Musical Themes in the 1848-1922 Formation of Czechoslovakia: Interaction of National and Global Forces - Hardcover

by James W. Peterson (Author), William J. Peterson (Author)

This book characterizes the 1918-22 formation of Czechoslovakia as an effect of political and musical expressions. The authors argue that while national factors were the most powerful in the period between the 1848 Revolution and the 1880s, global movements such as modernism and western support became predominant in the early twentieth century.
