Summary

""Retuning Culture" explores vital new ground in the way musical--as opposed to broad cultural--change has occurred recently in Eastern and Central Europe. It adds substantially to our knowledge of how musical behavior, performance, and traditions act and are acted upon in providing both continuity and adaptation to change."--James Porter, University of California, Los Angeles
