Especially significant is Adorno's "dialectical portrait" of Stravinsky, in which Adorno both reconsiders and refines his damning indictment of the composer in Philosophy on Modern Music. Throughout, Adorno is sustained by the conviction that music is supremely human because it is capable of communicating inhumanity while resisting it. His belief in the benevolent and transformative power of music reverberates throughout these writings.Country/Region of Manufacture: GBGenre: Music Dance & TheatreBook Series: Radical Thinkers Set 06Topic: Society & CultureRelease Year: 2012 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
