Concepts of Time in Post-War European Music gives a historical and
philosophical account of the discussions of the nature of time and
music during the mid-twentieth century. The nature of time was a
persistent topic among composers in Paris and Darmstadt in the
decades after World War II, one which influenced their musical
practice and historical relevance. Based on the author's
specialized knowledge of the relevant philosophical discourses,
this volume offers a balanced critique of these composers' attempts
at philosophizing about time. Touching on familiar topics such as
Adorno's philosophy of music, the writings of Boulez and
Stockhausen, and Messiaen's theology, this volume uncovers specific
relationships among varied intellectual traditions that have not
previously been described. Each chapter provides a philosophical
explanation of specific problems that are relevant for interpreting
the composer's own essays or lectures, followed by a musical
analysis of a piece of music which illustrates central theoretical
concepts. This is a valuable study for scholars and researchers of
music theory, music history, and the philosophy of music.
