Book, Philosophy of new music[LS]

Language: Brazilian Portuguese. The twelve-tone technique and the atomization of sounds. Why is dissonance more rational than consonance? Schoenberg and Stravinsky - Progress? Restoration? The work discusses the issues proposed above, through the close link established between musical ear, technique and society. In it, form and content in music are treated from within a dialectic of illustration. Musicologist, literary critic, Theodor Adorno's work is linked to social science in terms of a philosophy of culture. Deeply influenced by Hegel, a member of the Frankfurt group (W. Benjamin, Horkheimer and others), the German thinker carries out, in his own terms, a radical critique of mass society. Precise, bold.
