Overview

One Hundred Years of Music

After Beethoven and Wagner

Gerald Abraham

This book provides a full account of the history of music from the death of Beethoven to the modern era. It covers a period of exceptional interest. The last hundred years coincide roughly with the rise and decline of Romanticism, include the various nationality movements, and extended to the advent of "neo-classicism," the twelve-tone system, and still more modern techniques. Abraham devotes ample space to modernist and avant garde music, in which he explains the difficulties we experience in listening to it. He also throws new light on many familiar topics. This third edition further enlarges the bibliography and chronology, and adds commentary on developments in music techniques.

Music in a New Found Land

Themes and Developments in the history of American Music

Wilfrid Mellers

It has always been difficult to separate American music from its immediate relevance to the twentieth century. Mellers' theme, represented in this book, involves the relationship between "art" music, jazz and pop music; he sees the segregation of these genres as both illogical and artificial. If the pop music of Tin Pan Alley may be anti-art, it has also produced Gershwin, Ellington, and composing improvisers such as Louis Armstrong, Charlie Parker, and Miles Davis. The study of American music is as relevant into any inquiry into a national culture as the study of American literature and painting. This unique, one-volume history of American music provides a window into American culture.
