Аннотация:How were music and musicians from Italy imagined in Germany around 1800? This core research question is treated by Carolin Krahn in her monograph Topographie der Imaginationen. Johann Friedrich Rochlitz’ musikalisches Italien um 1800, a publication based on her doctoral dissertation defended in 2017 at the University of Vienna. Krahn’s monography is a valuable study for research into German intellectual culture in musical circles of the early nineteenth century.
