内容简介

为了探究为什么自1930年以来很少有作品被纳入正典，莫塞里考察了那些伟大作曲家的轨迹，他们在第一次世界大战后创作了独特、多才多艺、但表面上看起来更简单的音乐。他认为，作曲家在第二次世界大战期间的命运与各自政府的政治目标密不可分，导致德国、意大利和俄罗斯的实验音乐陷入缄默、作曲家大量涌入美国、以及实验音乐的突然回归----他将其称为“制度性的先锋派”（the institutional avant-garde）----作为冷战期间西方古典音乐的通用语言。

媒体评论
“[Mauceri’s] writing is more exhilarating than any helicopter ride we have been on.”
—Air Mail
“Fluently written and often cogent.”
—Barton Swaim, Wall Street Journal
“The great virtue of John Mauceri’s The War on Music is that it acknowledges what many writers on the subject know but can’t say: that something went badly wrong in music in the 20th century, and especially after 1945. . . fluently written and often cogent.”
—Barton Swaim, Wall Street Journal
“Two world wars changed the course of music in the 20th century. Charting the malign influence of politics, from Hitler to Stalin, Mauceri shows how music became part of the weaponry of identity. Refugee composers lost their place in the mainstream and Mauceri argues for a re-evaluation of those forgotten and discarded.”
—Richard Fairman, Financial Times ‘Best summer books of 2022: Classical music’
“[Mauceri’s] book grapples with what constitutes good classical music by approaching the subject from a provocative angle: Why do we not play more often the music banned by Hitler, specifically Schoenberg, Korngold, Hindemith, and Weill? And why instead do we fall for so much of what John Mauceri calls the “institutional avant-garde,” typified by Helicopter String Quartet, by German composer Karlheinz Stockhausen, with, yes, each player in a separate chopper? The reader may not agree with Mauceri’s analysis, but his writing is more exhilarating than any helicopter ride we have been on.”
—Air Mail
“A well-founded, cogent, and forceful argument for a fresh look at all of the century's great music, much of it written under extraordinary circumstances, and why we need to go back and listen.”
—Jon Burlingame, author of The Music of James Bond
“A profound thinker and observer and an eminent American musician, John Mauceri brilliantly explores the contested terrain of twentieth-century classical music and adds a whole new dimension to our understanding of musical politics and musical repertory.”
— Larry Wolff, author of The Singing Turk
“En garde! In his provocative new book The War on Music: Reclaiming the Twentieth Century—one that is certain to initiate heated and impassioned discussion—the prodigiously talented and multifaceted conductor and writer John Mauceri throws down a musical gauntlet as he endeavors to upend and re-examine some of the reigning assumptions of the history of post-war twentieth-century classical music. No matter how one responds to the thrust of John Mauceri's sweeping musical worldview, one must salute him for his fervent, dauntless, and audacious engagement.”
—Jonathan Cott, author of Dinner With Lenny: The Last Long Interview With Leonard Bernstein
“Mauceri’s brilliant The War on Music begins with the question, ‘Why do we not play the music Hitler banned?’ and then pulls back the curtain to answer it, in chilling detail.”
— Robert Thompson, President, G. Schirmer
