Apparitions - Essays on Adorno and Twentieth-Century Music (Hardcover)

Examining Adorno's major writings on the subject of music, the essays featured in Apparitions revolved around the two crucial movements in Adorno's creative life; the immediate impact of the publications of The Philosophy of New Music in 1949; and his struggle with contemporary music during the 1950s and 60s. This fascinating collection of essays examines: Adorno's influence in the realm of popular music and jazz; The Frankfurt School of Blues; Adorno's theory of the radio; the relationship of corporate power to methods of music and distribution; and Adorno's alienation from the musical avant-garde. The contributors to this volume study the ways in which Adorno's philosophy broke with the dominant tradition of music criticism in the twentieth century. This will be an invaluable work for scholars as well as students of Adorno,
