商品簡介
The Classical Revolution studies the emergence of a new brand of classical music, one rooted in “pre-modern” tonal traditions. Through a series of polemical essays on the conflict between re-emergent tradition and the more academic, almost sterile, atonal traditions, Borstlap examines both the philosophical and aesthetic positions of these new classical composers, positions too often misunderstood because they lack the atonalities of modernist composition that performing culture has come to expect.
