Making New Music in Cold War Poland: The Warsaw Autumn Festival, 1956-1968 Volume 19 Hardcover - 2016 - 1st Edition
by Lisa Jakelski
From the rear cover
"Lisa Jakelski's Making New Music in Cold War Poland offers a vibrant account of the postwar negotiations on what new music could and should mean, positioned on what Jakelski terms 'the Cold War's cultural fault line, ' at a site of concrete, critical engagement between modernism and socialist realism. Jakelski's narrative, though, does away with simplistic binaries, revealing the ways in which the everyday lives and interactions between composers, performers, administrators, and critics negotiated the space between the competing poles. In equal measure political and personal, this account expands both the geographical and the methodological territory of histories of new music in important, vital directions."--Martin Iddon, author of New Music at Darmstadt: Nono, Stockhausen, Cage, and Boulez
"No mere institutional history here! Jakelski's book crackles with insights into Cold War cultural politics, festival culture, and the practices and practitioners of new music in the long 1960s. Highly recommended for its grounding in extraordinary archival research and interviews, its conceptual verve, and its elegant prose."--Joy H. Calico, author of Arnold Schoenberg's "A Survivor from Warsaw in Postwar Europe"
