The Weimar Republic is often seen as an era of progress for the arts, but strands of pessimism and conservatism also developed rapidly. In this cultural atmosphere, music and musical scholarship could provide forms of protest and resistance to modernity. Attfield's concentration on continuity challenges the received historiography of this period.
