Modernism and Music: An Anthology of Sources de Daniel Albright

Modernism and Music: An Anthology of Sources

Editat de Daniel Albright
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 3 feb 2004
If in earlier eras music may have seemed slow to respond to advances in other artistic media, during the modernist age it asserted itself in the vanguard. Modernism and Music provides a rich selection of texts on this moment, some translated into English for the first time. It offers not only important statements by composers and critics, but also musical speculations by poets, novelists, philosophers, and others-all of which combine with Daniel Albright's extensive, interlinked commentary to place modernist music in the full context of intellectual and cultural history.
