Abstract

This article examines the history of the so-called modernist music. It argues that music and its associated ideas are central to the concept of modernism for all, and considers the modernist condition of music itself. The article defines modernism in music as a normative shift which often figures at the level of form, and suggests that formalism is a defining characteristic of the major branch of modernism.
