| Summary: | Bearing in mind the position occupied by Yugoslav postwar music, in this
article I review certain compositional strategies implemented by Predrag
Milošević in his piece A Peasant’s Interview with a Foreign Journalist, by
means of which this modernist composer stepped into the field of socialist
realism. I will analyze the score in order to identify the most significant
compositional-technical strategies used by the composer. Further analyses
will encompass an interpretation of the piece with respect to the theories of
socialist realism, while a separate segment of this article will be dedicated
to some aspects of the relationship between this composition and writings
published at the time of its creation. I will then use these analyses to
emphasize some points in Milošević’s work where one can observe connections
with the theoretical output of his contemporaries, as well as with recent
writings that focus on understanding the place of socialist realism in
Serbian music history. |
