The Land
Without Music

In 1904, Oskar Adolf Hermann Schmitz described Britain as Das Land ohne Musik.  Was this a fair comment and, if so, why?

This talk looks at how British music at times either lagged behind or advanced beyond European music.

This talk lasts about 60 minutes, or longer or shorter if required.  All necessary equipment (projector, screen, sound system) is provided.
