Klassische Musik bei YouTube

In addition to production, digitisation has also changed the presentation and reception of music. This is particularly true for so-called classical music. Its presence on YouTube, which remains the most important online platform, is examined in two parts in this book:
»Life practices« refer to new modes of reception, communication and socialisation in the context of the constant availability of music on the World Wide Web.
»Performance practices« in the digital age are examined by analyses of music videos on various YouTube channels. What forms of visualisation and storytelling arise from the constraints of audiovisual presentation on the internet?
