- Abstract
The article, "Musical Genre and Romantic Ideology: Belonging in the Age of Originality" by Matthew Gelbart, explores the relationship between musical genres and the Romantic ideology of originality and individuality. Gelbart argues that genres are social contracts that shape the expectations and interpretations of music. He traces the effects of Romantic ideology on genre from the 19th century to the present day, highlighting the tension between originality and genre. However, the article neglects to fully consider the role of style in relation to genre and the historical context of cultural production. Overall, Gelbart's work provides valuable insights into the social and ideological dimensions of musical genres.
