"In this book Marina Lobanova presents the case for a new type of historical analysis - related in its methods to the new historicism in literary criticism. Embracing such aspects of cultural life as poetry and philosophy, she deals with the problems of cultural dialogue and with the disintegration of the concept of "absolute music", proposing a radical reanalysis of "old" cultural objects and the contemporary creation of "new" ones. Lobanova stresses the need for cultural theories to enter into the cultural mores of a given period rather than import contemporary ideas and prejudices." "Drawing on a wide frame of reference (baroque, classical, romantic and contemporary music), Dr. Lobanova proposes an original concept of musical syntax with special emphasis on the role of the categories of time, space and motion in music."--Jacket.
