Ricardo Averbach

Villa-Lobos and Modernism

The Apotheosis of Cannibal Music

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Ricardo Averbach places Heitor Villa-Lobos as the top exponent of Cultural Cannibalism in music, an aesthetic movement that has been neglected due to traditional Eurocentric views of Modernism. Villa-Lobos and Modernism shows how much our present aesthetics owes to the Modernist ideas introduced by the Brazilian composer.
