Seeing Through Music - Gender and Modernism in Classic Hollywood Film Scores

Zusatztext Highly recommended Informationen zum Autor Peter Franklin is Professor of Music at the University of Oxford and a Fellow of St Catherine's College. He has written on Gustav Mahler and the post-romantic symphony, early twentieth-century Austrian and German opera and Hollywood film music. His publications include the books Mahler: Symphony no.3 and The Life of Mahler. Klappentext Seeing Through Music levels the critical playing-field between film-music and so-called 'serious music', reflecting upon gender-related ideas about music and modernism as much as about film. It proposes a history of twentieth-century music that would include the scores of a number of the major Hollywood movies discussed here.
