El arte del futuro

Although Félix de Azúa has been writing and lecturing about music all his life, this is the first time that he has compiled a selection of all his writings on the subject, an anthology of conferences, essays, prologues and articles that cover more than forty years of experience as "lay listener", fond of one of the most fascinating, enigmatic and universal arts. The art of the future is an invitation to think about some of the most important composers of so-called classical music, from Monteverdi and Bach to Bruckner, Richard Strauss or Alban Berg. In an age saturated with visuality, the ear is one of the last refuges where one can find great questions and transcendence, the area in which it is still possible to communicate with the dead and become aware of the artistic legacy of the West. With his usual lucidity, his unmistakable sense of humor, his controversial vocation and the vigor of one of the best prose in the Hispanic world, Azúa completes his inquiry into the problem of the arts in modernity with this book.
