Content
Based on Theodor W. Adorno's theory of the aesthetics of music, Musik-Konzepte has dedicated itself to composers not only considered to be progressive by the editors, in every era. The series combines musical tradition and innovation, historical and contemporary. Musik-Konzepte deals with either a composer and his work or a theme that is considered important from a musical, aesthetic, historical or sociologically perspective. For instance volume 74 Musik und Traum (1991). The series is targeted to not only musicologists savvy, but also at a general readership of those with an interest in music.
