Playful but Animalistically Serious: Czech Interwar Music and Sport
Original language description
In 1938, philosopher and music theorist Theodor Adorno compared modern popular music (and mass "serious" music too) to sport, considering both detrimental symptoms of a dehumanised modernity, marked by "a strict differentiation from games" and an "animalistic seriousness". This essay shows that the interwar avant-garde Czech music, despite its clearly playful character, did not avoid this animalistic seriousness, nor did it avoid sport or jazz. Quite the opposite: it accepted them as important inspirations, or even allied cultural productions: new music, sport and jazz were the building blocks of the new culture.
