Knapp identifies in Haydn and in early popular American musical cultures such as minstrelsy and operetta a strain of high camp—a mode of engagement that relishes both the superficial and serious aspects of an aesthetic experience—that runs antithetical to German Idealism's musical paradigms. By considering the disservice done to Haydn by German Idealism alongside the emergence of musical camp in American popular music, Knapp outlines a common ground: a humanistically based aesthetic of shared pleasure that points to ways in which camp receptive modes might rejuvenate the original appeal of Haydn's music that has mostly eluded audiences. In so doing, Knapp remaps the historiographical modes and systems of critical evaluation that dominate musicology while troubling the divide between serious and popular music. 2018-02-19 00:00:00 2020-04-01T13:07:44Z 2020-04-01T13:07:44Z 2018 book 644170 OCN: 1004376539 9780822369356;9780822369509 http://library.oapen.org/handle/20.500.12657/30694 eng application/pdf n/a 644170.pdf https://www.dukeupress.edu/making-light/?viewby=title Duke University Press Duke University Press Books 10.1353/book.61311 10.1353/book.61311 f0d6aaef-4159-4e01-b1ea-a7145b2ab14b 9780822369356;9780822369509 Duke University Press Books 408 Durham open access
