The universally acclaimed and award-winning Oxford History of
Western Music is the eminent musicologist Richard Taruskin's
provocative, erudite telling of the story of Western music from its
earliest days to the present. Each book in this superlative
five-volume set illuminates-through a representative sampling of
masterworks-the themes, styles, and currents that give shape and
direction to a significant period in the history of Western music.
Music in the Early Twentieth Century, the fourth volume in Richard
Taruskin's history, looks at the first half of the twentieth
century, from the beginnings of Modernism in the last decade of the
nineteenth century right up to the end of World War II. Taruskin
discusses modernism in Germany and France as reflected in the work
of Mahler, Strauss, Satie, and Debussy, the modern ballets of
Stravinsky, the use of twelve-tone technique in the years following
World War I, the music of Charles Ives, the influence of peasant
songs on Bela Bartok, Stravinsky's neo-classical phase and the real
beginnings of 20th-century music, the vision of America as seen in
the works of such composers as W.C. Handy, George Gershwin, and
Virgil Thomson, and the impact of totalitarianism on the works of a
range of musicians from Toscanini to Shostakovich
