A basic tenet of literary studies is that aesthetic structures are
politically significant because they represent an artist's response
to the political implications of cultural codes with which the
recipient of the modern work is also acquainted. This tenet
provides the basis for the ideological associations attending the
appearance of music in the modern German narrative. With his
understanding of the arts as involved in often unacknowledged
ideological forces within a culture, Marc Weiner's Undertones of
Insurrection bridges the gap between the "New Musicology's"
rewarding infusion of modern cultural and literary theory into the
study of music, politically insightful examinations of narrative
structures in the modern novel, and the methodologically
conservative area of musical-literary relations in Germanic
Studies. In other words, the questions it raises are different from
those pursued in most examinations of music and literature, because
previous works of this kind concerning the literature of
German-speaking Europe have often disregarded social concerns in
general, and political issues in particular.Ranging from 1900 to
Doctor Faustus (1947), Weiner study sets the stage by examining
public debates that conflated such issues as national identity,
racism, populism, the role of the sexes, and xenophobia with
musical texts. In the literary analyses that follow, Weiner
discusses both obvious connections between music and sociopolitical
issues--Hesse's equation of jazz and insurrection in
Steppenwolf--and covert ones, the suppression of music in Death in
Venice and the use of politically charged musical subtexts in
Werfel's Verdi and Schnitzler's Rhapsody. By uncovering the
ideological agendas informing cultural practice in modernist
Germany, Undertones of Insurrection calls for a reevaluation of the
function of music in the modern German narrative.
