Extract:
"In music in the modern period there is much more clearly a sense in which the importance of the particular mode of articulation in question lies precisely in the way in which it gives both producer and listener an individual role which can never be fully amenable to analysis in terms of identity with dominant rules. Adorno's suggestion that even music in de modern age can end up using the same dominant mode of rational identification which negates individual meaning (...) has now been overtaken by other historical developments and revealed as an unneccesarily limiting view of music and modernity." (p. 83)
