This groundbreaking survey of Western music in the 20th century takes a comprehensive approach, treating popular music, art music, and jazz on equal terms. Recognizing their interdependence, the book explores these forms within a wide range of social and critical contexts. Comprising four sections—Histories, Techniques and Technologies, Mediation, Identities—the book contains 16 thematic chapters that delve into the development and manifestation of musical or cultural topics across various musical practices. By presenting both a critical-musicological perspective and a comprehensive musical repertoire, the text aims to historicize music and musical thinking, fostering debate and opening up new avenues of understanding in the present. Each chapter is accompanied by two detailed case studies that provide an overview of the topic's chronology and key issues. This comprehensive approach makes the book an invaluable resource for scholars and enthusiasts alike, offering a deeper appreciation of the diverse and dynamic music of the 20th century.
