The Bitter Truth of Modernism: A Late-Romantic Story --Notes --IndexWhy are some of the most beloved and frequently performed works of the late-romantic period-Mahler, Delius, Debussy, Sibelius, Puccini-regarded by many critics as perhaps not quite of the first rank? Why has modernist discourse continued to brand these works as overly sentimental and emotionally self-indulgent? Peter Franklin takes a close and even-handed look at how and why late-romantic symphonies and operas steered a complex course between modernism and mass culture in the period leading up to the Second World War. The style's continuing popularity and its domination of the film music idiom (via work by composers such as Max Steiner, Erich Wolfgang Korngold, and their successors) bring late-romantic music to thousands of listeners who have never set foot in a concert hall. Reclaiming Late-Romantic Music sheds new light on these often unfairly disparaged works and explores the historical dimension of their continuing role in the contemporary sound world.Ernest Bloch lectures.Music19th centuryHistory and criticismMusicPhilosophy and aestheticsbloch.classical music.claude debussy.contemporary music.continued influence.early 20th century music.early modern period.english composer.ernest bloch lectures series.film music idiom.finnish composer.frederick delius.french composer.giacomo puccini.gustav mahler.italian opera.johan julius christian sibelius.late 19th century music.late romantic music.mass culture.modernism.modernity.music.opera composer.opera music.romantic composers.romantic period.second world war.MusicHistory and criticism.MusicPhilosophy and aesthetics.780.9/034Franklin Peter785130MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910790711203321Reclaiming late-romantic music3796444UNINA
