Adorno trimmed politics from his music text for its 1949 book form

Evidence

97 Adorno’s Zur Philosophie der neuen Musik', basically unchanged but with some sections on politics shortened and some on music added, was published in 1949 under the title Schönberg und der Fortschritt’ (`Schoenberg and Progress’), as the first part of Philosophie der neuen Musik (Philosophy of Modern Music). — Rolf Wiggershaus, The Frankfurt School, 3368

Categorization

  • XREF: Connects to Adorno’s later philosophy of new music and his relation to Schoenberg; relevant to the essay collection on trees only weakly, but links to broader critical-theory canon.
