Book excerpt: 4e de couverture : In the long nineteenth century music acquired unprecedented cultural value across Europe. The resulting demand for music education was shaped according to the political, economic, and religious conditions of individual nations and cities, but it also gave a new impetus to the circulation of teachers, students, and pedagogical models. The gradual institutionalisation of conservatories is studied here as a field of conflicting aesthetic as well as political ideas.
