Listen Again

A New History of Music

Beschreibung

How do you tell the key of a piece without looking at a score? How do you know when a musical work ended before an audience applauds or a radio announcer returns on air? Was there, in fact, a "breakdown of tonality" in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries? These questions and others are the focus of Wulstan’s Listen Again.
