The Schenker Project: Culture, Race, and Music Theory in Fin-de-siecle Vienna

by NicholasCook (Author)

Synopsis

This book interprets the music theory of Henrich Schenker (1868-1935) as part of a comprehensive project encompassing not just musical reform but social and political critique. It sets his work into the contexts of Viennese modernism, German cultural conservatism, and Schenker's position as a Jewish immigrant to the city where modern anti-semitism first developed.
