The Politics of Appropriation: German Romantic Music and the Ancient Greek Legacy - The New Cultural History of Music Series

This book explores the intersection of music and Hellenism in nineteenth-century Germany. It shows how productions such as that of the Prussian court of Sophocles' Antigone with music by Felix Mendelssohn reflect an effort by the rulers who commissioned them to appropriate the legacy of Greece for the creation of a German cultural and national identity.
