Description

Explore the complex history of twentieth-century music and communism with this definitive study from Cambridge University Press. This book offers a fresh look at Alan Bush, a British communist composer whose politicized works and connections to Soviet musicians made him a central figure in national musical culture. Through this research, you will learn how Bush's radical vision for British music sparked deep discussions regarding aesthetics and the rights of artists to hold private political opinions. The text also examines his influence on the development of state-sponsored music making in East Germany. By moving past old characterizations that labeled Bush as a musical or political outsider, this work provides a detailed account of his impact on the cultural left in Britain and the Communist Bloc. It is an essential read for students and scholars interested in the relationship between political ideology and musical composition during the Cold War era.
