Puccini’s Soundscapes
Realism and Modernity in Italian Opera
by Arman Schwartz
By exploring the origins and limits of the composer’s realist acoustics Puccini’s Soundscapes aims to rethink the shape of Puccini’s career and reinterpret many of his major works. Asking more broadly how Italian composers responded to fundamental transformations of auditory culture, this volume proposes a new dialogue between musicology and sound studies and a new approach to musical modernity.
