In this original, provocative book, Arved Ashby argues that recording technology has transformed our understanding of art music. Contesting the laments of nostalgic critics, Ashby sees recordings as socially progressive and instruments of a musical vernacular, but also finds that recording and absolute music actually involve similar notions of removing sound from context. He takes stock of technology's impact on classical music, addressing the questions at the heart of the issue. This erudite yet concise study reveals how mechanical reproduction has transformed classical musical culture and the very act of listening, breaking down aesthetic and generational barriers and mixing classical music into the soundtrack of everyday life. 606 $aAbsolute music 606 $aSound recordings$xSocial aspects 606 $aMusic$xPhilosophy and aesthetics 606 $aPerformance practice (Music)$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aMusic and technology 606 $aSound$xRecording and reproducing$xDigital techniques 606 $aMP3 (Audio coding standard)$xSocial aspects 615 0$aAbsolute music. 615 0$aSound recordings$xSocial aspects. 615 0$aMusic$xPhilosophy and aesthetics. 615 0$aPerformance practice (Music)$xHistory 615 0$aMusic and technology. 615 0$aSound$xRecording and reproducing$xDigital techniques. 615 0$aMP3 (Audio coding standard)$xSocial aspects. 676 $a781.49 700 $aAshby$b Arved Mark$01638335 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910808751903321 996 $aAbsolute music, mechanical reproduction$93980656 997 $aUNINA
