Book Synopsis
Presents the study of a pivotal era in the arts. This book examines music and its relationship to early modernism in the Austro-German sphere. Seeking to explore the period on its own terms, it questions the common assumption that works created from the later 1870s through World War I were transitional between late romanticism and high modernism.
