Trade Review"This collection is a landmark contribution that will take music scholarship by surprise." - Robert Walser, author of Keeping Time; "A rich and challenging collection. Its authors write from a common perspective that sets their views at odds with the terms that have most commonly determined musical discourse in the twentieth century. At the same time they consider listeners' involvement with a wide range of musics from the high modernism of Boulez and Barraque through the standard classical repertory to MTV. There is something here to interest every music scholar and listener." - Ruth A. Solie, author of Music in Other Words"
