Hoeckner

Apparitions takes a new look at the critical legacy of one of the 20th century’s most important and influential thinkers about music, Theodor W. Adorno. Bringing together an international group of scholars, the book offers new historical and critical insights into Adorno’s theories of music and how these theories, in turn, have affected the study of contemporary art music, popular music, and jazz.
