The Economics of Classical Music: Patronage vs. the Market: [Lecture 4 of 10] In this lecture, Professor Paul Cantor presents case studies, including J. S. Bach, Mozart, Beethoven, Liszt, and Wagner; as well as topics on the Church, the Court, and the Middle-Class Piano. Paul A. Cantor, Clifton Waller Barrett Professor of English at the University of Virginia, is a pioneer in literary criticism from an Austrian perspective. Having studied with Ludwig von Mises, he has been working to counter the Marxist understanding of culture that dominates in the humanities today. In this week-long seminar, "Commerce and Culture," Cantor discusses a variety of case studies of commercial culture, including Shakespeare's theater, classical music in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, the serialized novel in Victorian Britain, the Hollywood studio system, and the development of the Fox network on television. He will also consider the alternatives to commercial culture, from aristocratic and church patronage to totalitarianism and other forms of government support for the arts.
