His expertise in the concert repertoire from the modernist era, reenergized and reimagined through the lens of disability, illuminates the music with new meaning and resonance...A very helpful, well-produced companion website offers in-depth video analysis (captioned) of each musical example discussed in the book... Summing Up: Highly Recommended -- CHOICE Joe Straus's work in disability studies in music remains seminal, and this book certainly confirms that fact by breaking new terrain yet again. --Bruce W. Quaglia, Visiting Assistant Professor of Music Theory, University of Minnesota Joseph Straus makes a convincing argument for thinking of modernist musical works as relying on a disability aesthetic. Learned, comprehensive, and eclectic, this book makes a major contribution to music history and theory as well as to disability studies. -- Lennard Davis, Distinguished Professor, College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, Department of Disability and Human Development, University of Illinois at Chicago
