Sound Commitments (eBook, ePUB)

Avant-Garde Music and the Sixties

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Many avant-garde musicians were intensely involved in the cultural upheavals of the 1960s, and often sought to reflect this in their music. However, aesthetic experiment was not always easily reconciled with social progressiveness. This volume examines this distinctive form of engagement across a range of genres and geographical locations.
