Aprašymas

Jonathan Kramer (1942-2004) taught at Yale, Oberlin, the University of Cincinnati, and was Professor of Music Composition and Theory at Columbia University. He was one of the most visionary musical thinkers of the second half of the 20th century. In his "The Time of Music, " he approached the idea of the many different ways that time itself is articulated musically. The book has become influential among composers, theorists, and aestheticians.

Now, in this text nearly completed before his untimely death, he examines the concept of postmodernism in music. Kramer created a series of markers by which we can identify postmodern works. He suggests that the postmodern project actually creates a radically different relationship between the composer and listener. Written with wit, precision, and at times playfully subverting traditional tropes to make a very serious point, "Postmodern Music, Postmodern Listening" leads us to a strongly grounded intellectual basis for stylistic description "and" an intuitive sensibility of what postmodernism in music entails. "Postmodern Music, Postmodern Listening "is an examination of how musical postmodernism is not just a style or movement, but a fundamental shift in the relationship between composer and listener. The result is a multifaceted and provocative look at a critical turning point in music history, one whose implications we are only just beginning to understand.
