This collection of essays offers a historical reappraisal of what
musical modernism was, and what its potential for the present and
future could be. It thus moves away from the binary oppositions
that have beset twentieth-century music studies in the past, such
as those between modernism and postmodernism, between conceptions
of musical autonomy and of cultural contingency and between
formalist-analytical and cultural-historical approaches. Focussing
particularly on music from the 1970s to the 1990s, the volume
assembles approaches from different perspectives to new music with
a particular emphasis on a critical reassessment of the meaning and
function of the legacy of musical modernism. The authors include
scholars, musicologists and composers who combine culturally,
socially, historically and aesthetically oriented approaches with
analytical methods in imaginative ways.
