Recenzii
"Peter Dayan’s book is a revelation: Dada was musical, and the music of Dada was often tonal, Romantic and popular in style. Dayan shows this to have been under the nose of Dada historians since the first Dada soirées but obscured by Dadaists through ideological difference, playful falsification, and Dada rules for (not) speaking about music. Ranging from New York pre-Dada to Richter’s Dadascope (1961), and driven by an insatiable appetite for questions and challenging assumptions (including his own), Dayan’s book is a major contribution to the field. Moreover – and more importantly, in Dada terms – it is also great fun."
Stephen Forcer, University of Birmingham UK
"In this brilliant and timely book, Peter Dayan sheds valuable new light on a hitherto under-researched aspect of the Dada movement. He challenges many assumptions about what music meant to the Dadaists and the uses they made of it. He proposes myriad ways for us to understand anew the complex and at times surprising place that music occupied within the Dada groups. The fruit of meticulous research and lengthy reflection, this book summons forth an array of new insights into the composition, performance and reception of music across Dada’s various geographic locations and stylistic permutations. And in the process it compels us to think afresh about the melodies underpinning the other creative practices of Dada."
Eric Robertson, Royal Holloway, University of London, UK
"Finally, a book that will have been long awaited by all performers of dada! In Peter Dayan’s highly convincing proposition I have found an affirmation for the way I have been realising many of my own performances. This is a fascinating elaboration on the widely neglected role of music in dada and its implications for the arts ever since. To the delight of the reader the author avoids pretentious ‘art speak’ and develops his perspective in an inviting and suspenseful manner."
Florian Kaplick, Dada performer and speech performance artist
"Dayan’s study undoubtedly makes essential reading for students of Dada, and will provide a significant cornerstone of Dada research for many years to come."
Richard Evans, In Defence of History
This study is clearly a must for anyone interested in Dada, but will also intrigue those interested in the relationship between the various arts.

Descriere
The Music of Dada provides a historical analysis of music at Dada events, and asks why accounts of Dada have so consistently ignored music’s vital presence, explaining how music has related to the other arts ever since the days of Dada. The music of Dada is the key to understanding intermediality in our time.
