Product Description
Product Description
When the first edition of Queering the Pitch was published in early 1994, it was immediately hailed as a landmark and defining work in the new field of Gay Musicology. In light of the explosion of Gay Musicology since 1994, a new edition of Queering the Pitch is timely and needed. In this new work, the editors are including a landmark essay by Philip Brett on Gay Musicology, its history and scope. The essay itself has become a cause celebre, and this will be its first full appearance in print. Along with this new historical essay, the editors are contributing a new introduction that outlines the changes that have occurred over the last decade as Gay Musicology has grown.

Format:Paperback
This is a tremendous anthology of homosexual scholarship on classical music. Particularly persuasive is the chapter in which Schubert is 'outed' with reference to his 'Unfinished' 8th Symphony. Who could deny that the deviant use of harmony constitutes anything other than overwhelming proof of his sexual inclinations? I whole-heartedly support the author's view that Schubert's body should be exhumed and interred in a specialist gay cemetery. The well-substantiated accusation that Ives' music is 'homophobic' is quite startling and forces one to question whether his music is valid in the more tolerant society of today. This is a most objective foray into music that should be compulsory reading to all.
