| Sumario: | Music played a central role in the self-conception of many Germans between the 1848 Revolution and the First World War.

A wide variety of musical genres, ranging from pre- and post-Wagnerian opera to popular choruses to symphonic poems, provides for a new perspective on how national identities were constructed, shaped and celebrated in and through music. |
