{"product_id":"quasi-una-fantasia-essays-on-modern-music-9781844677924","title":"Quasi Una Fantasia: Essays on Modern Music","description":"This collection covers a wide range of topics, from a moving study of Bizet's \u003ci\u003eCarmen\u003c\/i\u003e to an entertainingly caustic exploration of the hierarchies of the auditorium. Especially significant is Adorno's \"dialectical portrait\" of Stravinsky, in which Adorno both reconsiders and refines his damning indictment of the composer in \u003ci\u003ePhilosophy on Modern Music\u003c\/i\u003e. Throughout, Adorno is sustained by the conviction that music is supremely human because it is capable of communicating inhumanity while resisting it. His belief in the benevolent and transformative power of music reverberates throughout these writings.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Theodor Adorno\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Verso\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/16\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSeries:\u003c\/b\u003e Radical Thinkers\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 348\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.60h x 5.00w x 1.00d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781844677924","brand":"Verso","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45521225973897,"sku":"9781844677924","price":24.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0636\/9240\/6921\/files\/img_f8ce1ad3-daab-4c84-9b5d-c93fe5c40760.jpg?v=1776226667","url":"https:\/\/sonsanddaughtersbooks.com\/products\/quasi-una-fantasia-essays-on-modern-music-9781844677924","provider":"Sons and Daughters Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
