Question

what is one way composers such as dvorak, greig, and wagner infused culture into their musical compositions?
they wrote music that was easy to hum.
they infused folk melodies into their music.
they wrote new national anthems to play before soccer matches.
nothing, their works were completely original.

(this question refers to pages 261 - 263) the author’s description of bismarck’s governing style (
ealpolitik\) primarily serves to emphasize his
belief in achieving political goals through compromise.
reliance on practical power strategies rather than ideals.
deep distrust of military solutions to political problems.
commitment to following constitutional limitations

Explanation:

• First question: Composers like Dvořák, Grieg, and Wagner were part of the nationalist music movement. One of the key ways they incorporated culture was by using folk melodies. Folk melodies are an integral part of a nation's cultural heritage. For example, Dvořák used Czech folk themes in his works. Writing music that was easy to hum is a general characteristic that doesn't specifically tie to cultural infusion. Writing new national anthems for soccer matches is a very narrow and not - typical way (and not really related to their main body of work). Saying their works were completely original ignores the cultural context from which they drew inspiration.
• Second question: "Realpolitik" is a political concept. It emphasizes practical, power - based strategies. Bismarck was known for using realpolitik. Compromise is not the main tenet of realpolitik. Realpolitik does not imply a distrust of military solutions (in fact, Bismarck used military force when it served his political goals like in the Austro - Prussian War). And realpolitik is more about power and pragmatism rather than strict adherence to constitutional limitations.

Answer:

• First question: They infused folk melodies into their music.
• Second question: reliance on practical power strategies rather than ideals.
