"In The Necessity of Music, Celia Applegate explores the many ways that Germans thought
about and made music from the eighteenth- to twentieth-centuries. Rather than focus
on familiar stories of composers and their work Applegate illuminates the myriad ways
in which music is integral to German social life. Musical life reflected the polycentric
nature of German social and political life, even while it provided many opportunities
to experience what was common among Germans. Musical activities also allowed Germans,
whether professional musicians, dedicated amateurs, or simply listeners, to participate
in European culture. Applegate's original and fascinating analysis of Mendelssohn,
Schumann, Brahms, Wagner, and military music enables the reader to understand music
through the experiences of listeners, performers, and institutions. The necessity
of music demonstrates that playing, experiencing, and interpreting music was a powerful
factor that shaped German collective life."
