Serial music was one of the most important aesthetic movements to
emerge in post-war Europe, but its uncompromising music and
modernist aesthetic has often been misunderstood. This book focuses
on the controversial journal die Reihe, whose major contributors
included Stockhausen, Eimert, Pousseur, Dieter Schnebel and G. M.
Koenig, and discusses it in connection with many lesser-known
sources in German musicology. It traces serialism's debt to the
theories of Klee and Mondrian, and its relationship to developments
in concrete art, modern poetry and the information aesthetics and
semiotics of Max Bense and Umberto Eco. M. J. Grant sketches an
aesthetic theory of serialism as experimental music, arguing that
serial theory's embrace of both rigorous intellectualism and
aleatoric processes is not, as many have suggested, a paradox, but
the key to serial thought and to its relevance for contemporary
theory.
