Description
|
|
|
|
The sociology of music is a young discipline, and this book addresses the seminal issues, explaining the role musical activity plays in our social and cultural life. This 1982 book by Viennese-born Kurt Blaukopf, revised and enlarged when it was translated into English in 1992, considers music from theoretical and also practical aspects from the Stone Age to European antiquity, from medieval polyphony to the harmonic revolution of the "New Music" of the early 17th century, from the economic and political background of Viennese classicism to the milieu of French romanticism, from the invention of musical notation and composed music to the modern techniques of creating and disseminating music in the age of synthesizers and digital media.
