"Musiciens d'autrefois" by Romain Rolland is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The work delves into the history and significance of music, particularly focusing on opera and its evolution throughout different eras. The text is likely to appeal to those interested in music history, arts, and cultural analysis. At the start of "Musiciens d'autrefois," the author introduces the pivotal role music plays in the broader tapestry of history and culture. Rolland emphasizes the often-overlooked depth of musical history, positioning music as a vital expression of the human spirit that reflects societal values, emotions, and transformations. He critiques the historical narrative that has sidelined music in favor of more tangible arts, while establishing a connection between music and other art forms, highlighting how they influence one another. Rolland's examination urges readers to appreciate the intricate relationships between music, literature, and societal changes, setting the stage for a more thorough exploration of opera and its predecessors in subsequent chapters.
