Luigi Dallapiccola is widely considered a defining figure in
twentieth-century Italian musical modernism, whose compositions
bear passionate witness to the historical period through which he
lived. In this book, Ben Earle focuses on three major works by the
composer: the one-act operas Volo di notte ('Night Flight') and Il
prigioniero ('The Prisoner'), and the choral Canti di prigionia
('Songs of Imprisonment'), setting them in the context of
contemporary politics to trace their complex path from fascism to
resistance. Earle also considers the wider relationship between
musical modernism and Italian fascism, exploring the origins of
musical modernism and investigating its place in the institutional
structures created by Mussolini's regime. In doing so, he sheds new
light on Dallapiccola's work and on the cultural politics of the
early twentieth century to provide a history of musical modernism
in Italy from the fin de siecle to the early Cold War.
