This article uses Stockhausen's Klavierstück I (1952–3) as a lens through which to view the realities of this practice, drawing on close contextual analysis of the affordances of the score and the now significant corpus of recordings. These findings are used to extend M. J. Grant's view of serial aesthetics and to provide a practical basis for what she calls ‘serial listening’. Three principal styles of performance are identified and attendant modes of listening suggested, relating to the non-thematic principles and hermeneutic contexts of serial music, which include the embodied response of the performer to defamiliarized musical material and the nascent dialectic of instrumental and electronic composition. This investigation – informing serious judgements of value and taste – has broader implications for the development of Stockhausen's notation and temporal theory in the 1950s and for the performance practice of new music.","PeriodicalId":43259,"journal":{"name":"Twentieth-Century Music","volume":"19 1","pages":"117 - 158"},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2022-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46060710","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"艺术学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Written by Félix Luna and Ariel Ramírez, the song is based on the suicide of feminist poet Alfonsina Storni and achieved worldwide popularity through Mercedes Sosa's 1969 rendition on the album Mujeres argentinas. Using Butler's theory of gender performance, Cusick's proposals for a feminist music theory, and Plesch's concept of dysphoric topics in Argentine nationalist music, this article deconstructs the song's poetic, musical, and visual discourses to critique its underlying cultural signification. It concludes that by infantilizing, romanticizing, and nationalizing Storni's public figure, her legacy was adapted to the patriarchal expectations of decorum and historical narrative about nation pervasive in Argentina in the late 1960s. Storni's white European urban background was adapted to more ‘authentic’ Argentine values through Sosa's performance and public image.","PeriodicalId":43259,"journal":{"name":"Twentieth-Century Music","volume":"19 1","pages":"29 - 63"},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2022-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46881892","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"艺术学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Alongside depictions of beautiful scenery and highly exoticized subjects, a large body of postcards portrayed musicians, musical instruments, and musical performances. This article considers how these postcards shaped French understanding of Algerian music, and Algerian culture more broadly. Algerian musicians were unlikely to appear on public radio broadcasts in France during this period, and these small, inexpensive, mass-produced images thus provided the way in which much of the French public would encounter Algerian music. The article also examines the ways in which postcards of the time depicted the role of music and sound within Algerian public spaces, and how they shaped the place of public and private sonic realms within colonial Algerian society.","PeriodicalId":43259,"journal":{"name":"Twentieth-Century Music","volume":"19 1","pages":"65 - 92"},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2022-01-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41433335","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"艺术学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The BBC planned a ‘Stravinsky Day’ on Radio 3 to mark the occasion, with over five hours of programming and features on the Saturday after the anniversary. In the event, the programming was delayed for two weeks as the news came in of the death of HRH The Duke of Edinburgh. All BBC schedules were turned over to playing solemn music and identical news reports, a move which attracted the largest number of complaints the BBC has ever received. There is some faint poetry to discern in the parallels between the death and funerals of the Duke of Edinburgh and the death of Stravinsky back in 1971. Both occasions elicited very public outpourings of grief and various commentators marking the ‘end of an era’; on Stravinsky’s death, musicians, composers, and even politicians made press releases to express their sympathies, including the White House. Both deaths invited reflections on the direction and very existence of their respective spheres: contemporary composition and the monarchy. With the Stravinsky quinquagenary falling this year, it is perhaps inevitable that we would see several new publications released to coincide. One of these, Stravinsky in Context, edited by GrahamGriffiths, is a remarkable taking of the pulse of Stravinsky Studies over the last few years. There has been no shortage of books on Stravinsky, of course: there is perhaps no other twentieth-century composer who has received more scholarly attention. Edited essay volumes have been plentiful in recent years, including Stravinsky and His World; the 2013 anniversary of The Rite of Spring brought about at least two essay collections dedicated to that infamous piece alone. Unlike most other edited collections, however, Stravinsky in Context contains many essays: thirty-five, to be exact. Such a quantity might instantly make one think of large tomes along the lines of Routledge Companions, but that is not the case here; indeed, Stravinsky in Context barely tips over 300 pages. Instead, each contribution is a micro-essay, barely numbering 10 pages or so. For some authors, this clearly provides remarkable freedom while for others it evidently means limitations.","PeriodicalId":43259,"journal":{"name":"Twentieth-Century Music","volume":"19 1","pages":"167 - 172"},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2022-01-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48959885","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"艺术学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

I was born in Dgheyaytnu, or what is currently known as Anchorage, and raised on my ancestral homelands. I currently live on Chochenyo Ohlone lands or Xučyun (currently known as Berkeley, California). I currently work on Patwin lands or Putah-toi (currently known as Davis, California).

I am a double bassist and vocalist with earned degrees in Music Education (BME from Central Washington University), Music History (MA from the University of Nevada), and Musicology (PhD from the University of California, Los Angeles). I am currently an Associate Professor and Graduate Advisor in Native American Studies at the University of California, Davis, and my three core areas of research expertise include: (1) Indigenous-led research methodologies and theories, including writing and editorial praxes; (2) Indigeneitycentred approaches to performance, improvisation, media, and sensory studies; and (3) arts and activism in North Pacific and Circumpolar Arctic communities specifically, and between Indigenous, Black, and Peoples of Colour communities more broadly. To contextualize this review of Dylan Robinson’s Hungry Listening: Resonant Theory for Indigenous Sound Studies (2020), it is important that I begin with the preceding explanations of (some of) the relationalities I bring to this work. In theorizing ‘a range of encounters between Indigenous song and Western art music (also called classical music or concert music)’ (1) more broadly, or Native North American song and European art music more specifically, Hungry Listening traces a multitude of encounters that require new forms of attention to better account for ‘aesthetic and structural encounters that take place within music composition and performance; listening encounters that take place between the listening","PeriodicalId":43259,"journal":{"name":"Twentieth-Century Music","volume":"19 1","pages":"173 - 181"},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2022-01-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42840051","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"艺术学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
