Inhaltsangabe

Dmitri Shostakovich and his music have been subject to heated debate concerning how the musical meaning of his works can be understood in relationship to the composer's life within the Soviet State. This book offers a useful corrective: setting aside biographically grounded and traditional analytical modes of explication, Reichardt uncovers and explores the musical ambiguities of four of the composer's middle string quartets. The music is constantly collapsing, reversing, inverting and denying its own structural imperatives. Reichardt argues that such confrontation of the musical language with itself, also speaks poignantly to the fractured state of a more general form of modern subjectivity.
