Shall We Change the Subject?
A Music Historian Reflects
About the Speaker
Richard Taruskin has contributed to five fields of musical research--Russian and Soviet music, twentieth-century music, the theory of performance, music and politics, and general historiography--and transformed all five. His work has been reviewed in eight languages and translated into nine. As a part-time musical journalist, appearing regularly in The New York Times and The New Republic, he has taken part in numerous highly fraught public debates--on the social role of art and the social responsibilities of artists, on censorship, and on the possibility of cognitive constraints on musical perception--and has earned a reputation, to quote the German magazine Der Spiegel, as "America's national musicologist."
