Reviews

'... highly perceptive exploration... the interdisciplinary connections [drawn] between theoretical philosophy, politics, and music [...] are deeply illuminating and thought provoking... Wellens skillfully raises a complex of issues that must be considered to understand the intricate and often hidden dynamics of music and politics in the early years of the Cold War.' American Music
