Deciphering the specific social characteristics of music has lagged
behind the analytical dissection of musical composition and
biographical musicology. These essays address the issue. The
sociology of music as examined here is an investigation into the
ways in which social formations come together in musical
structures. The essays specifically address the problem of our
neutralized musical consciousness, the separation of music from its
social context and the artificial insulation of musical
understanding from social significance. A particular theme in this
work concerns the struggle against ideological distortions arising
from the insulation of music from its sociological context. The
author argues that there is a stronger connection between music and
society than is generally assumed.
