Broken Beauty: Musical Modernism and the Representation of Disability
Broken Beauty illustrates how disability is right at the core of musical modernism; it is one of the things that musical modernism is fundamentally about. The most characteristic features of musical modernism-fractured forms, immobilized harmonies, conflicting textural layers, radical simplification of means in some cases, and radical complexity and hermeticism in others-can be understood as musical representations of disability conditions, includingdeformity/disfigurement, mobility impairment, madness, idiocy, and autism.
