Music in the United States. Perspectives from cultural and music history.

尽管北（美国）的广泛影响。20世纪和21世纪的美国音乐世纪音乐史至今还没有一本德语专著关注北美音乐的多样性和丰富性。这本书由一位音乐学家和一位美国研究学者构思，旨在通过呈现北美音乐的历史和结构转折点来缩小这一差距。作者还研究了欧洲和美国之间的跨大西洋交流，欧洲对美国音乐的看法的变化，以及相互的文化观念和偏见。这本书结合了音乐学和文化史的方法，面向广大读者，并声称将成为对该领域感兴趣的德国读者的未来基准。

Despite the extensive influence of North (U.S.) American music on 20th and 21st century music history there exists as of yet no monograph in the German language that focuses on the diversity and abundance of North American music since its beginnings. Conceived by a musicologist and an American studies scholar, this book project intends to close this gap by presenting historical and structural turning points of North American music. The authors also look at the transatlantic exchange between Europe and USA, the changing European perspective on American music, and mutual cultural perceptions and prejudices. Combining methods both of musicology and cultural history, the book addresses a broad audience and claims to serve as a future benchmark for German readers interested in the field.
