Von der hinteren Coverseite

'In Music, the Arts, and Ideas, ' Leonard B. Meyer uses music as a vantage point to discover patters in the perplexing, fragmented world of twentieth-century culture. The book is concerned with the aesthetics of music and with the relationships between music (and the other arts), ideology, and history--especially as these have shaped contemporary culture. The Postlude, written for this edition, looks back at the predictions made more than twenty-five years ago and speculates about what the coming decades may hold.
