Toward a Materialist Conception of Music History (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9789004537927)

This book argues for the relevance, appropriateness, and usefulness of historical materialism to the musicological project. It interrogates the history of encounters between Marxism and music studies -- both within and without the Soviet sphere -- before staging the missed encounter between classical musicology and Second International Marxism. It concludes with a framework for understanding style history in terms of changes in the forces and relations of musical production.
