Such a collection can perhaps be imagined as a kind of musicological party: some old friends (or perhaps enemies) are here, but there are plenty of new faces to get to know. * Music and Letters *\u003cbr\u003eThis book shows just how thoroughly and irrevocably [the] purist view of classical music has been shattered. * Ivan Hewett, BBC Music Magazine *\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePART I: MUSIC AND LANGUAGE  ; PART II: MUSIC AND THE BODY (GENDER, SEXUALITY, AND ETHNICITY)  ; PART III: MUSIC AND CLASS  ; PART IV: MUSIC AND CRITICISM  ; PART V: MUSIC PRODUCTION AND CONSUMPTION","brand":"Oxford University Press, USA","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51017620652375,"sku":"9780198790112","price":137.75,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9780198790112.jpg?v=1750774142","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/music-culture-and-society-a-reader-9780198790112","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
