Description

Music is performed, reproduced, and heard differently today as a result of twentieth-century technology.

A new consideration of these changes is a practical and cultural necessity.

In Conditions of Music, Alan Durant extends Deryck Cooke's Language of Music, placing the insights of Cooke into a much wider sociological and historical framework.

Conditions of Music provides a basis for detailed commentary and criticism of music.

Unlike literature and painting, around which illuminating critical techniques and theories have developed, little common ground exists for music criticism.

The appraisal argument adopted here implies a major revision of accepted ways of thinking about contemporary directions of music.
