Details of Consequence

Ornament, Music, and Art in Paris

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Details of Consequence examines a trait that is rarely questioned in fin-de-siècle French music: ornamental extravagance. In re-evaluating the status of ornament for French culture, this book investigates how musical and visual expressions of decorative detail shaped widespread discussions on identity, style, and aesthetics.
