This book is about the way in which a society constructs an idea of
nature and the role that art, and specifically music, may have in
the articulation of that idea. It explores such an idea in relation
to Webern, whose music has been almost exclusively portrayed as
abstract and autonomous. In opposition to the exclusively formalist
concerns of post-Darmstadt Webern reception, this book argues that
abstraction in music is understood fully only in relation to the
material, historical reality from which it abstracts, and that
musical modernism is more fully understood by exposing its
underground roots in the aesthetics of romanticism.
