The Finale: A further case of the Ridiculous and the Sublime - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

The Finalé follows on from The Première in identifying shifting attitudes to music and the arts in the period before the First World War. In particular, the collapsing old Romantic régimes, which had dominated artistic and musical thinking; and their eclipse by more intellectually-based movements as the Vienna Secessionists or Modernism. The Finalé, with an extensive index, considers the arts, architecture, music, philosophy, politics and religion which influenced artists and musicians at the time before the unleashed cataclysm that became the Great War. Stephen Lees brings to life the creative arts and music in an interesting and fascinating way by exploring facts which are not well known, making The Finalé highly enjoyable, informative and humorous.
