The encyclopedia shows, beyond aesthetic evaluations, the great variety of contemporary music since 1945. In a wide-ranging lexical section, the ramifications of modern and recent music history are comprehensively explained: with factual articles on theory, forms and genres, instruments and ensembles, regions, media, interpretation and performance, among other things. In addition, well-known authors present the music-historical connections in nine essays and reflect on fundamental questions of contemporary music.
