520 "The year 1917 was unlike any other in American history,
or in the history of American music. The United States
entered World War I, jazz burst onto the national scene,
and the German musicians who dominated classical music
were forced from the stage. As the year progressed, New
Orleans natives Nick LaRocca and Freddie Keppard
popularized the new genre of jazz, a style that suited the
frantic mood of the era. African-American band leader
James Reese Europe accepted the challenge of making the
band of the Fifteenth New York Infantry into the best
military band in the country. Orchestral conductors Walter
Damrosch and Karl Muck met the public demand for classical
music while also responding to new calls for patriotic
music. Violinist Fritz Kreisler, pianist Olga Samaroff,
and contralto Ernestine Schumann-Heink gave American
audiences the best of Old-World musical traditions while
walking a tightrope of suspicion because of their German
sympathies. Before the end of the year, the careers of
these eight musicians would be upended, and music in
America would never be the same. Making Music American
recounts the musical events of this tumultuous year month
by month from New Year's Eve 1916 to New Year's Day 1918.
As the story unfolds, the lives of these eight musicians
intersect in surprising ways, illuminating the
transformation of American attitudes toward music both
European and American. In this unsettled time, no one was
safe from suspicion, but America's passion for music made
the rewards high for those who could balance musical skill
with diplomatic savvy."--Publisher's description.
