"Time's
Echo" is a cultural and public historical (and archival) examination of
WWII and the Holocaust from the perspective of writers and early
20th-century classical composers, mostly the latter. It's a critical
look into the "living memory" of those events through the musical lens
of famous works by Arnold Schoenberg, Richard Strauss, Dmitri
Shostakovich, and Benjamin Britten -- all shaped by their experiences.
The book is a great example of how music is a narrative of the past. |
