Modernism in music still arouses passions and is riven by
controversies. Taking root in the early decades of the twentieth
century, it achieved ideological dominance for almost three decades
following the Second World War, before becoming the object of
widespread critique in the last two decades of the century, both
from critics and composers of a postmodern persuasion and from
prominent scholars associated with the 'new musicology'. Yet these
critiques have failed to dampen its ongoing resilience. The picture
of modernism has considerably broadened and diversified, and has
remained a pivotal focus of debate well into the twenty-first
century. This Research Companion does not seek to limit what
musical modernism might be. At the same time, it resists any
dilution of the term that would see its indiscriminate application
to practically any and all music of a certain period. In addition
to addressing issues already well established in modernist studies
such as aesthetics, history, institutions, place, diaspora,
cosmopolitanism, production and performance, communication
technologies and the interface with postmodernism, this volume also
explores topics that are less established; among them: modernism
and affect, modernism and comedy, modernism versus the
'contemporary', and the crucial distinction between modernism in
popular culture and a 'popular modernism', a modernism of the
people. In doing so, this text seeks to define modernism in music
by probing its margins as much as by restating its supposed
essence.
