| Abstract: | The article reviews two books that explore different aspects of music history and theory. The first book, focusing on nineteenth-century Italian opera fantasias for woodwind instruments, argues for the genre's significance and reevaluates its historical value through various theoretical lenses, including genre theory and gender implications. The second book examines the life and impact of George M. Cohan on Broadway, highlighting his role in shaping American musical theater and his embodiment of early 20th-century American ideals. Both works are positioned as valuable resources for musicology and performance studies, suitable for academic libraries and musicians. [Extracted from the article] |
