Description

Explore the complex relationship between music and the human form in Bartok and the Grotesque: Studies in Modernity, the Body and Contradiction in Music. This volume, part of the Royal Musical Association Monographs series, examines how Bela Bartok used the concept of the grotesque to challenge artistic boundaries. Through a detailed study of works such as Bluebeard's Castle, The Wooden Prince, The Miraculous Mandarin, and Cantata Profana, this book looks at how Bartok engaged with scenarios involving body transformations and violations. It also investigates his use of satirical strategies within his instrumental compositions. This scholarly work is designed for musicologists, students, and researchers interested in how the grotesque functions as a transgressive and hybrid figure in modern music. It provides a deep look into the semantic puzzles of the human body as represented in early 20th-century classical compositions.
