Not recommended for the general reader. Though first published in 1941, the explication stops short of addressing serialism and 12-tone music; I suspect the author was afraid to confront them. Perhaps he preferred a riposte like one from China: "ask me in a thousand years". Fortunately it has taken less than a hundred years to expose that pestilence which for average music lovers suffocated classical music for generations if not forever. Would that Lang and other critics had risen in force to assure us that that emperor had no clothes and so rid us sooner of that troublesome and expensive experiment. I enjoyed the occasional comments on the historical flow among the arts over time and place. The book requires at least two years' reading in the smallest room in your house. aucune critique | ajouter une critique
The scope of the book is vast, beginning with the music of ancient Greece and ending with that of the first two decades of the twentieth century. But music is not viewed in isolation. Rather, the author presents music as one of the many arts that, taken in conjunction, form the essence of the artistic spirit of an era. Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |
