Making Music Modern: New York in the 1920s
Oja, Carol J. (Margaret and David Bottoms Professor of Music and American Studies, Margaret and David Bottoms Professor of Music and American Studies, College of William and Mary)
This work sets the growth of American musical composition against parallel developments in American culture, provides a guide for understanding the music, and explores how the notion of the concert tradition, as inherited from Western Europe, was challenged and revitalized through contact with American popular song, jazz, and non-Western musics.
