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. %K Postmoderne, Nationalismus, Multikulturelle Phänomene, Polystilistik, Polystilism, Tonlität, Zwölftonmusik, Schönberg, Arnold, Ligety, György, Folklorismus, Atonalität, Rihm, Wolfgang, Moderne, Berg, Alban %G English
