 Stephen Downes, Music and Decadence in European Modernism: The Case of Central and Eastern Europe
Stephen Downes
Music and Decadence in European Modernism: The Case of Central and Eastern Europe
Cambridge University Press, 2010. Hardcover. Very Good Condition. 9780521767576 Pencil underlining and annotations to the first two chapters, slight wear to covers. Decadence is a crucial yet often misunderstood aspect of European modernism. This book demonstrates how decadence as an idea, style or topic informs Central and Eastern European music of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Combining close analysis with hermeneutic interpretation and cultural critique, Stephen Downes examines works by composers including Wagner, Richard Strauss, Scriabin, Rachmaninov, Mahler and Bartók, considering structural and expressive forms of decay, deformation, mannerism, nihilism, sickness and convalescence. Drawing upon critical and cultural theory, these musical works are contextualized, relating the relationship of music and musical discourse to wider cultural discourses. The study will enhance the understanding of musical forms and aesthetics for the reader. Exploring crucial aspects of modernism and the place of music in the development and diversity of decadence, Downes refines and redefines our understanding of musical modernism. 386 pages.
