By the end of the nineteenth century the traits of \"classicism\" in music had become clearly established. This codification cast long shadows over contemporary artists, encouraging a movement away from order, continuity and tradition towards freedom, innovation and novelty - and the term neoclassicism made its first appearance.\n\n  This study, the first ever critical examination of \"neoclassicism\" in music, provides a broad cultural context for the investigation of its origins, then looks in turn at Wagner and the French reaction to him; Saint-Saens, d'Indy, Debussy, Ravel and their French contemporaries; Germany and France in the decade which includes the First World War, with special reference to Thomas Mann and Ferrucio Busoni, and to Jean Cocteau and the \"New Simplicity\"; and Igor Stravinsky, the composer most frequently cited in connection with this term.\n\n  Reprint; first published 1988.","brand":"Boydell \u0026 Brewer Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Product","offer_id":54217901015384,"sku":"9781878822734","price":36.5,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9781878822734__676edd977f075.jpg?v=1741157286","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/neoclassicism-in-music","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
