La música del siglo XIX, y en particular el romanticismo en Francia e Italia es el tema que afronta en este libro su autor, Claudio Casini, tema que para algunos resulta muy conocido (pensemos en autores como Berilos, Bizet, Gounod, Massenet, Rossini, Bellini, Donizetti o Verdi, por citar sólo a los más importantes) y para otro menos familiar al lector no especializado, al menos desde la visión histórico-sistemática que nos ofrece el autor. Citaremos, por ejemplo, los orígenes y desarrollo del ballet romántico, la aparición de la opereta, los acontecimientos de algunos géneros ( grand opéra, opéra comique, opéra-lirique) en Francia o la evolución de un sentido naturalista del melodrama italiano a partir de la segunda mitad del siglo. También se examinan en este volumen los perfiles de cada uno de los compositores exhaustivamente ( por ejemplo, las óperas de Verdi se examinan de una en una), pero sin olvidar el conjunto, la síntesis de los diferentes factores históricos, culturales y sociales que condicionan, o en los que se incluyen, los acontecimientos musicales.
