Offers a social history of music in Los Angeles from the 1880s to 1940. This book describes the music scene over some sixty years, including opera, concert giving and promotion, and the struggles of individuals who pursued music as an ideal, a career, a trade, a business. It argues that music making was closely tied to Progressive Era issues.
