Seeking to explore the period on its own terms  Frisch questions the common assumption that works created from the later 1870s through World War I were transitional between late romanticism and high modernism. Drawing on a wide range of examples across different media  he establishes a cultural and intellectual context for late Richard Wagner  Richard Strauss  Gustav Mahler  and Arnold Schoenberg  as well as their less familiar contemporaries Eugen dAlbert  Hans Pfitzner  Max Reger  Max von Schillings  and Franz Schreker.  Frisch explores \"ambivalent\" modernism in the last quarter of the nineteenth century as reflected in the attitudes of  and relationship between  Nietzsche and Wagner. He goes on to examine how naturalism  the first self-conscious movement of German modernism  intersected with musical values and practices of the day. He proposes convergences between music and the visual arts in the works of Brahms  Max Klinger  Schoenberg  and Kandinsky. Frisch also explains how  near the turn of the century  composers drew inspiration and techniques from music of the pastthe Renaissance  Bach  Mozart  and Wagner. Finally  he demonstrates how irony became a key strategy in the novels and novellas of Thomas Mann  the symphonies of Mahler  and the operas of Strauss and Hofmannsthal.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45647230435381,"sku":"ByrdShop_0520251482","price":29.9,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780520251489.jpg?v=1781690215","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/german-modernism-music-and-the-arts-california-studies-in-20thcentury-music-volume-3-9780520251489","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
