| Summary: | This title explores the idea of modernity in Western culture since the late 16th century, not as a chronological narrative of events but as a set of modalities of thought and feeling - enacted, realised, and made sensible through music. In doing so, it argues both that modernity is revealed in specifically musical ways and that music itself is better understood from this perspective than by the usual periodisation of style history. It thus argues that all music since 1600 is modern music. |
