The author’s goal is to define the specifics of postmodernism in music and also, more broadly, of postmodernism in culture. Postmodernism is approached here as a cultural phenomenon, not as any kind of musical style. The observations included in the text mainly regard 1) the way a piece of music/art functions in the postmodern reality, 2) the impact of postmodern culture on creative process, 3) the specifics of postmodern audiences.
