Anthology for Music in the Nineteenth Century, part of the Western Music in Context series, is the ideal companion to Music in the Nineteenth Century. Twenty-three carefully chosen works including movements from a Beethoven quartet, excerpts from operas by Verdi and Bizet, piano music aby Gottschalk, and a symphonic movement aby Tchaikovsky offer representative examples of genres and composers of the period. Commentaries following each score present a careful analysis of the music, and online links to purchase and download recordings make listening easier than ever."
