Summary

Advocates of 'new musicology' claim that technical methods of music analysis are conservative, elitist, positivist, and emotionally arid. This title challenges those claims, asking why cultural, sociopolitical, or gender-studies approaches to music should be deemed more democratic or expressive of music's content or impact.
