Apparitions takes a new look at the critical legacy of one of the 20th century''s most important and influential thinkers about music, Theodor W. Adorno. Bringing together an international group of scholars, the book offers new historical and critical insights into Adorno''s theories of music and how these theories, in turn, have affected the study of contemporary art music, popular music, and jazz.

Revolves around the two movements in Adorno's creative life: the immediate impact of the publications of The Philosophy of Music in 1949; and his struggle with contemporary music during the 1950s and 60s. This book is aimed at scholars and students of Adorno, who seek a historical context for understanding his writings in the field of musicology.
