Kramer was one of the most visionary musical thinkers of the second
half of the 20th century. In his The Time of Music, he approached
the idea of the many different ways that time itself is articulated
musically. This book has become influential among composers,
theorists, and aestheticians. Now, in his almost completed text
written before his untimely death in 2004, he examines the concept
of postmodernism in music. Kramer created a series of markers by
which we can identify postmodern works. He suggests that the
postmodern project actually creates a radically different
relationship between the composer and listener. Written with wit,
precision, and at times playfully subverting traditional tropes to
make a very serious point about this difference, Postmodern Music,
Postmodern Listening leads us to a strongly grounded intellectual
basis for stylistic description and an intuitive sensibility of
what postmodernism in music entails. Postmodern Music, Postmodern
Listening is an examination of how musical postmodernism is not
just a style or movement, but a fundamental shift in the
relationship between composer and listener. The result is a
multifaceted and provocative look at a critical turning point in
music history, one whose implications we are only just beginning to
understand.
