What does it mean to think of Western Art music - and the
Austro-German contribution to that repertory - as a tradition? How
are men and masculinities implicated in the shaping of that
tradition? And how is the writing of the history (or histories) of
that tradition shaped by men and masculinities? This book seeks to
answer these and other questions by drawing both on a wide range of
German-language writings on music, sound and listening from the
so-called long nineteenth century (circa 1800-1918), and a range of
critical-theoretical texts from the post-war continental
philosophical and psychoanalytic traditions, including Lacan,
Zizek, Serres, Derrida and Kittler. The book is focussed in
particular on bringing the object of historical writing itself into
scrutiny by engaging in what Zizek has called a 'historicity' or a
way of writing about the past that not merely acknowledges the
ahistorical kernel of historical writing, but brings that kernel
into the light of day, takes account of it and puts it into play.
The book is thus committed to a kind of historical writing that is
open-ended - though not ideologically naA-ve - and that does not
fix or stabilize the nature of the relationship between so-called
'primary' and 'secondary' texts. The book consists of an
introduction, which places the study of classical music and the
Austro-German tradition within broader debates about the value of
that tradition, and four extensive case studies: an analysis of the
cultural-historical category of listening around 1800; a close
reading of A. B. Marx's Beethoven monograph of 1859; a
consideration of Heinrich Schenker's attitudes to the mob and the
vernacular more broadly and an examination, through Franz Kafka, of
the figure of Mahler's body.
