Book Synopsis
Challenging ideas of ‘elite’ and ‘popular’ culture, Tanya Kevorkian examines five central and southern German towns - Augsburg, Munich, Erfurt, Gotha, and Leipzig - to reconstruct a vibrant urban musical culture held in common by townspeople of all ranks.

Trade Review
A truly exceptional book. Kevorkian has produced a rich, lively, readable history that extends and upends our knowledge of this period. This is a very important contribution to the study of music and society in Germany, at a time when the medieval and modern intersected and one can see the old world still functioning and a new one coming into being." - Celia Applegate, Vanderbilt University, author of The Necessity of Music: Variations on a German Theme
