As evidenced by his pioneering study of compositional methods that melded Eastern traditional music with Western musical theory, he had a profound understanding of the complex and often divisive history of twentieth-century music. Now his renowned chronicle \u003ci\u003eMusic of the Twentieth Century\u003c\/i\u003e is offered here in a newly revised English-language edition.\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eMusic of the Twentieth Century\u003c\/i\u003e goes beyond a historical survey with its lucid and impassioned discussion of the elements, structures, compositional principles, and terminologies of twentieth-century music. De Leeuw draws on his experience as a composer, teacher, and music scholar of non-European music traditions, including Indian, Indonesian, and Japanese music, to examine how musical innovations that developed during the twentieth century transformed musical theory, composition, and scholarly thought around the globe.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Amsterdam University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50024025096432,"sku":"9789053567654","price":35.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9789053567654","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
