Opis

This book is the first attempt to provide a comprehensive (albeit necessarily selective) discussion of Pavel Haas’s music since the publication of Lubomír Peduzzi’s ‘life and work’ monograph in 1993.

O autorze

Martin Čurda completed his Ph.D. studies at Cardiff University, School of Music in 2017. He is currently employed as a lecturer in musicology at the Faculty of Fine Arts and Music of the University of Ostrava (Czech Republic), teaching courses related to music analysis and semiotics, music history since 1900, and performance practice. His research into the music of Pavel Haas has so far led to the publication of several journal articles and book chapters, as well as to the organisation of the first international academic conference focusing specifically on this composer (Pavel Haas Study Day, 2016). His research combines musical-analytical methods with hermeneutic enquiry rooted in semiotics, cultural critique, and discourse analysis, revealing the interaction of music, culture and politics.
