Decadence is a crucial yet often misunderstood aspect of European
modernism. This book demonstrates how decadence as an idea, style
or topic informs Central and Eastern European music of the late
nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Combining close analysis
with hermeneutic interpretation and cultural critique, Stephen
Downes examines works by composers including Wagner, Richard
Strauss, Scriabin, Rachmaninov, Mahler and Bart k, considering
structural and expressive forms of decay, deformation, mannerism,
nihilism, sickness and convalescence. Drawing upon critical and
cultural theory, these musical works are contextualized, relating
the relationship of music and musical discourse to wider cultural
discourses. The study will enhance the understanding of musical
forms and aesthetics for the reader. Exploring crucial aspects of
modernism and the place of music in the development and diversity
of decadence, Downes refines and redefines our understanding of
musical modernism.
