| Sumario: | Until the nineteenth century, music occupied a marginal place in British universities. It was not until a benefaction initiated the creation of a professorship of music at the University of Edinburgh, in the early nineteenth century, that the idea of music as a university discipline commanded serious consideration. Focusing on four universities - Edinburgh, Oxford, Cambridge and London - this book examines the identity of music as an academic subject, primarily through systems of teaching and examination. |
