The style hongrois in the music of the Western Europe
Jonathan BELLMAN

"This work includes a valuable survey of nineteenth-century stereotypes of the Gypsies as a basis for an extensive and convincing discussion of the possible extramusical meanings that Western composers were trying to express. Bellman's meticulously described lexicon of the musical gestures used by composers to cue the style is an important and much needed contribution to musicology; it thoroughly defines the style hongrois as a musical topic."
