Zusammenfassung:
In 'The Making of European Music in the Long Eighteenth Century', D.R.M. Irving traces the emergence of such large-scale categories in Western European thought. Beginning in the 1670s, Jesuit missionaries in China began to refer to 'European music', and for the next hundred years the term appeared almost exclusively in comparison with musics from other parts of the world. It entered common use from the 1770s, and in the 1830s became synonymous with a new concept of 'Western music'. Western European writers also associated these terms with notions of 'progress' and 'perfection'. Meanwhile, changing ideas about 'modern' Europe's cultural relationship with classical antiquity, together with theories that systematically and condescendingly racialized people from other continents, influenced the ways that these scholars imagined and interpreted musical pasts around the globe.
