Approaching disability as a cultural construction rather than a
medical pathology, this book studies the impact of disability and
concepts of disability on composers, performers, and listeners with
disabilities, as well as on discourse about music and works of
music themselves. For composers with disabilities--like Beethoven,
Delius, and Schumann--awareness of the disability sharply inflects
critical reception. For performers with disabilities--such as
Itzhak Perlman and Evelyn Glennie--the performance of disability
and the performance of music are deeply intertwined. For listeners
with disabilities, extraordinary bodies and minds may give rise to
new ways of making sense of music. In the stories that people tell
about music, and in the stories that music itself tells, disability
has long played a central but unrecognized role. Some of these
stories are narratives of overcoming-the triumph of the human
spirit over adversity-but others are more nuanced tales of
accommodation and acceptance of life with a non-normative body or
mind. In all of these ways, music both reflects and constructs
disability.
