Quasi Una Fantasia : Essays on Modern Music Paperback / softback
by Theodor Adorno
Part of the Radical Thinkers series
Paperback / softback
Description
This collection covers a wide range of topics, from a moving study of Bizet's Carmen to an entertainingly caustic exploration of the hierarchies of the auditorium.
Especially significant is Adorno's "dialectical portrait" of Stravinsky, in which Adorno both reconsiders and refines his damning indictment of the composer in Philosophy on Modern Music.
Throughout, Adorno is sustained by the conviction that music is supremely human because it is capable of communicating inhumanity while resisting it.
His belief in the benevolent and transformative power of music reverberates throughout these writings.
