Description

This collection of essays re-examines the historiographical traditions shaping how European postwar avant-garde music is understood and documented. Contributors explore diverse topics including the influence of long-playing records on open works, Messiaen's engagement with non-European musical traditions, Xenakis's application of information theory, Kagel's genre innovations, Berio's relationship with American foundation funding, and the critical roles of figures like Boulez and Stockhausen in defining the era. The book challenges established narratives by presenting new perspectives on canonical subjects within postwar music history, offering scholars, musicians and students fresh insights into how avant-garde movements developed and were documented across Europe during this transformative period.
