For most music historians, the modernism of the twentieth
century was until recently the only appearance of the "modern" in
music. The widely perceived recent decline of musical modernism
makes it now possible to see the modernism of the twentieth century
as a chapter in a much longer story, the story of musical
modernity. The principal purpose of the present book is to
encourage a debate over musical modernity; a debate that would
consider the question whether, and to what extent, an examination
of the history of European art music may enrich our picture of
modernity and whether our understanding of music's development may
be transformed by insights into the nature of modernity provided by
other historical disciplines.
This book had its origin in a conference that took place at the
Music Department of Harvard University on November 9-11, 2001 to
honor Professor Reinhold Brinkmann.
