Además hay aspectos en que se diferencia de la mayoría de los textos anglosajones sobre...

Adrift on a sea of drug use, boredom and popular entertainment, Mister traces his relationship to the obsessive collection of ephemera and the coterminous feelings of isolation and loss. Like an iPod on shuffle, lyrical descriptions...

Artistas, escenarios y públicos son elementos, si no "condenados a la perfección" como hubiera dicho Juan José Arreola por lo menos obligados a no estorbar y no estorbarse en su misión delicada. Las bambalinas de un concierto no comienzan con él, ni se extinguen al aplauso final. Los anecdotarios han hecho de directores y solistas; de salas de concierto y aun de los más modestos aficionados, actores protagónicos a veces dignos de la inmortalidad....

Las dos partes de este libro tienen características singulares. En una está la novedad. En la otra, la insistencia. La sociología de la música, como disciplina formal, tiene apenas un siglo de vida. La educación musical ha venido a menos en México y en otros países, y por eso lo dicho hace varias décadas está ganando en trascendencia. El sociólogo Max Weber encabeza al sobresaliente grupo académico cuyas enseñanzas son glosadas en estas...

Starr aims to provide an unpretentious...
