More about the book

Exploring the intricate relationship between musical Modernism and German cinema, this book highlights the significant influence of composers like Alban Berg, Paul Hindemith, Richard Strauss, and Kurt Weill on cinematic aesthetics. Between 1913 and 1933, their engagement with film transcended mere collaboration, becoming a central aesthetic paradigm of Modernism. The author, Finocchiaro, argues that this creative confrontation with cinema served as a catalyst for innovation, allowing composers to reinterpret and subvert the Classic-Romantic tradition in pursuit of a "dream of Otherness."
