Music and Decadence in European Modernism: The Case of Central and Eastern Europe
Downes, Stephen (University of Surrey)
The topic of decadence is central to European modernism, yet has been relatively neglected. Downes explores how the notions of decadence were used to describe and influence Central and Eastern European music of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, analyzing musical works by composers including Wagner, Mahler and Bartók.
