| Publisher Description: This book considers the idea of nature in the music of Anton Webern. It stands out from other studies because it explores the wider social and cultural dimensions of the music, as opposed to an often narrow, technical analysis. In doing so it offers an important case study for the way in which social ideas can be discussed in relation to apparently abstract modern music. Moreover, it does so in relation to musical details, not simply on the level of biography or cultural history. |
