Description: This book focuses on protest music and "dissident" composers and musicians during the twentieth century, with a particular focus on the forms with which dissent may be expressed in music and the ways composers and performers have adopted stances on political and social dissent. Twenty-one articles by scholars of different nationalities explore not only the way in which protest music is articulated in artistic-cultural discourse and the political matter, but also the role it played in situations of mutual benefit. Moreover, the phenomenon of dissent is investigated within the contexts of musical historiography and criticism, approaching the topic from historical, sociological, and philosophical perspectives.
Notes: "Includes twenty out of a total of fifty-one papers presented at the international conference Protest Music in the Twentieth-Century held in Lucca, Italy, on 15-17 November 2013, organized by the Centro Studi Opera Omnia Luigi Boccherini in collaboration with the Univeristy of Granada"--Page xiii.
