It outlines and addresses the problems of defining what we mean by postmodernism, explores when postmodernism begins, engages with a broad range of literature and reference sources, inviting wider reading and thinking, and uses specific musical examples to present ways of interpreting music that can be defined as postmodernist."--Publisher description.
