Although studies of Modernism have focused largely on European nations, Spain has been conspicuously neglected. As Carol A. Hess argues in this compelling book, such neglect is wholly undeserved. Through composer Manuel de Falla (1876-1946), Hess explores the advent of Modernism in Spain in relation to political and cultural tensions prior to the Spanish Civil War. The result is a fresh view of the musical life of Spain that departs from traditional approaches to the subject and reveals an open and constantly evolving aesthetic climate.

An excellent survey for students of Spanish art history,
By Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Manuel de Falla and Modernism in Spain, 1898-1936 (Hardcover)
Studies of musical modernism have focused largely on European nations but Spain has been often neglected in such discussions as having cliched and overly recycled arrangements. Manuel Defalla And Modernism In Spain focuses on the music of composer Manuel de Falla, considering his emergence as a leading figure in Spanish modernism who used impressionism and a range of styles which paralleled the development of a unique artistic and literary style in Spain. Manuel Defalla And Modernism In Spain is an excellent survey for students of Spanish art history.
