A Short History of Cheap Music as Exemplified in the Records of the House of Novello, Ewer & Co
With Especial Reference to the First Fifty Years of the Reign of Her Most Gracious Majesty, Queen Victoria
Description:... "The publisher Novello was hugely influential in making music affordable for a wider section of the Victorian public...The author shows how by finding cheaper methods for printing music, organising cheap concerts, and establishing new choral societies, the house of Novello gradually created a taste for music among new audiences, a process paralleled today in the new media."--Cambridge University Press
