Beschreibung
This book provides a survey of the styles and tendencies in 20th-century new music, presenting the most important composers from Schoenberg to Rihm in a series of essays that will appeal to connoisseurs and non-specialists alike by putting music in the context of the social and psychological background of its time.
20th-century music is characterized by a bewildering multitude of trends and movements. Often several movements co-exist in contradiction to each other, in a reflection of the century’s intellectual currents and social and political changes, and the reactions they prompted. In this book, renowned musicologist and author Constantin Floros provides a survey of the different styles and tendencies in new music, presenting the most important composers from Schoenberg to Rihm in a series of fluent and readable essays that will appeal to connoisseurs and non-specialists alike. For Floros, music and biography are inseparable, and here he puts music in the context of the social and psychological background of its time.

«The chapter ‘From Expressionism to Experimentation’ provides a wonderful introduction to 20th-century musical trends. Utterly readable, the book makes music of the post-Mahler era accessible.» (Peter Kaiser, 2011)
