Musikkritik und -analyse um 1800

This study examines musical analyses in German-language music journals from the 1760s to the 1820s with regard to their journalistic and theoretical context. Like hardly any other format of the time, these texts bundle the many facets of thinking about music: aesthetics, theory and the history of music are related to each other in many reviews of works, linked and illustrated by analysis as a tool of demonstration. Thus, these texts are not only distillations of musical discourses of the time, but also provide information about an important phase in the history of musical analysis and interpretation.

Alexander Faschon studied musicology at the University of Leipzig. From 2018 to 2020, he worked as a research assistant at the Franz Liszt University of Music Weimar, and from 2020 to 2023 at the University of Heidelberg. His areas of interest include the history of music aesthetics and theory as well as music from the 18th to 20th centuries.
