Description: What happened to musical modernism? When did it end? Did it end? In this unorthodox Lacanian account of European "New Music," Seth Brodsky focuses on the unlikely year 1989. As world politics witnesses a turning-away from the possibility of revolution, musical modernism revolves in place, performing century-old tasks of losing, failing, and beginning again, in preparation for a revolution to come.
