The Modernist Legacy: Essays on New Music
This collection of essays offers a historical reappraisal of what musical modernism was, and what its potential for the present and future could be. It thus moves away from the binary oppositions that have beset twentieth-century music studies in the past, such as those between modernism and postmodernism, between conceptions of musical autonomy and of cultural contingency and between formalist-analytical and cultural-historical approaches. Focussing particularly on music from the 1970s to the 1990s, the volume assembles approaches from different perspectives to new music with a particular emphasis on a critical reassessment of the meaning and function of the legacy of musical modernism. The authors include scholars, musicologists and composers who combine culturally, socially, historically and aesthetically oriented approaches with analytical methods in imaginative ways.

"The idea that originally gave rise to SoundVisions was the multifarious and wide-ranging forms of expression found in music today ... By presenting a cross-section of more than 150 composers from all corners of the world we cannot, of course, hope to reflect musical creativity in its entirety, least of all considering that large parts of today's music resist notation altogether. Yet the pages below can nonetheless convey an idea of the seemingly infinite possibilities of the visual re-creation of acoustic visions. The decision to commit music to paper is more than just a 'makeshift' necessitated by the impossibility of presenting it in actual sound. Notation reveals just as much if not more than the sounds themselves"--Preface.
