Performing Pain explores music's relationships to trauma and grief by focusing upon the late 20 th century in Eastern Europe. The 1970s and 80s witnessed a cultural preoccupation with WWII and the Stalinist era. Journalists, historians, writers, artists, and filmmakers explored themes related to pain and memory, truth and history, morality and spirituality during glasnost and the years prior. Performing Pain considers how music by composers Alfred Schnittke, Galina Ustvolskaya, Arvo Pärt, and Henryk Górecki musically engage contemporary concerns regarding suffering through composition, performance, and reception. Drawing upon theories from psychology, sociology, and literary studies, this book demonstrates the ways in which people turn to music to make sense of trauma and loss.
