About this book

Remaking the Past: Musical Modernism and the Influence of the Tonal Tradition by Straus, Joseph N.. hardcover edition. ISBN: 9780674759909.

Joseph Straus details the revisionary strategies of twentieth century composers--how they transformed the music of the tonal tradition in creating their radically new sonorities and structures. He defines a mainstream of musical modernism, a mainstream shaped by the aggressive reinterpretation of eighteenth- and nineteenth-century models.
