Vischer on 19th-century music criticism Music’s status as an art form was distrusted in the context of German idealist philosophy which exerted an unparalleled influence on the entire nineteenth century. Hegel insisted that the content of a work of art should be grasped in concepts in order to establish its spiritual substantiality (Geistigkeit), and that no object, word or image could accurately represent the content and meaning of a musical work. In the mid-nineteenth century, Friedrich Theodor Vischer and other Hegelian aestheticians kept insisting on art's conceptual clarity, but they adapted the aesthetic system on which this requirement had been based. Their adaptations turned out to be decisive for the development of music criticism, to such an extent that music critics used them to point out musical content and to confirm music’s autonomy as an art form. This book unravels the network of music critics and philosophers, including not only Hegel but also Franz Liszt, Franz Brendel, and Eduard Hanslick, whose works shaped public opinions of music. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis publication is GPRC-labeled (Guaranteed Peer-Reviewed Content).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eThis is a welcome contribution to the field of the history of music aesthetics.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSanna Pederson, University of Oklahoma\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eBarbara Titus' \u003c\/em\u003eRecognizing Music as an Art Form \u003cem\u003eis the first study in any language to present Vischer's musical thought in its historical context and explains its importance in nineteenth-century conceptions of the art.
