Description:

This book provides a survey of the styles and tendencies in 20th-century new music, presenting the most important composers from Schoenberg to Rihm in a series of essays that will appeal to connoisseurs and non-specialists alike by putting music in the context of the social and psychological background of its time.

Synopsis:

20th-century music is characterized by a bewildering multitude of trends and movements. Often several movements co-exist in contradiction to each other, in a reflection of the century's intellectual currents and social and political changes, and the reactions they prompted. In this book, renowned musicologist and author Constantin Floros provides a survey of the different styles and tendencies in new music, presenting the most important composers from Schoenberg to Rihm in a series of fluent and readable essays that will appeal to connoisseurs and non-specialists alike. For Floros, music and biography are inseparable, and here he puts music in the context of the social and psychological background of its time.
