- Abstract
The article discusses a volume titled "Revisiting the Historiography of Postwar Avant-Garde Music" and its goal of providing a richer contextualization of post-war avant-garde music. The volume contains critiques and defenses of post-war avant-gardes, as well as alternative historiographies of twentieth-century musical avant-garde. The article highlights specific chapters that explore the influence of commercial recordings on mobile and indeterminate scores, revisionist discourse analysis of the writings of the original 'Darmstadt School', and the relationship between supposedly hermetic compositional practices and global empire. The article also mentions the national tensions in reception history and the impact of colonialism on European art music. The perspectives of the authors vary, but they contribute to a deeper understanding of mid-twentieth-century music.
