Title: Music in the Twentieth and Twenty-First Centuries Condition: New Author: Joseph Auner Contributor: Walter Frisch (Series edited by) Format: Paperback ISBN-10: 0393929205 EAN: 9780393929201 ISBN: 9780393929201 Publisher: WW Norton & Co Genre: Music Dance & Theatre Release Date: 25/06/2013 Description: Joseph Auner's Music in the Twentieth and Twenty-First Centuries explores the sense of possibility unleashed by the era's destabilizing military conflicts, social upheavals, and technological advances. Auner shows how the multiplicity of musical styles has called into question traditional assumptions about compositional practice, the boundaries of music and noise, and the relationship among composer, performer, and listener. He also shows how composers and their works have played important roles in defining ideas of nation, race, and gender, and thus in shaping the modern world for better and worse. Western Music in Context: A Norton History comprises six volumes of moderate length, each written in an engaging style by a recognized expert. Authoritative and current, the series examines music in the broadest sense—as sounds notated, performed, and heard—focusing not only on composers and works, but also on broader social and intellectual currents.
