- This book challenges the central paradigm of music history enshrined in the idea of periodization. It argues western art music is better understood through an idea of modernity stretching from the 16th to the 20th centuries. It presents unusually wide-ranging research, developed over ten years, engaging with 400 years of cultural and social history through several methods (close-reading and analysis, social history, aesthetic theory) and across several disciplines (music, art, literature, science, philosophy). It presents a multi-layered rethinking of music, connecting it to an extended range of other disciplines and thus demonstrating how music has been constitutive of modern society.
