Anton Webern and the politics of historicism

"The appropriation of historical techniques and formal models in a modernist context presents numerous problems, both aesthetic and political. The subject of this thesis is the unique approach to these problems practiced by Anton Webern, an approach which can be described as ""critical historicism."" The author attempts to show that Webern's historicism supported the innovative features of his music and, in so doing, enhanced its political significance."
