About this title: A cultural theorist and musicologist attempts to open up new possibilities for understanding Western art music. When this music is regarded esoterically, removed from real-world interests, it increasingly sounds more evasive than transcendent. Kramer shows how classical music can take on new meaning and new life when approached from a postmodernist standpoint.
