Abstract

In the eleventh chapter of "Introduction to the Sociology of Music", Adorno put forward his own views on the development of modern music. He believes that modern music is the most sensitive nerve of society, which shows the turbulence of social structure ahead of other arts. Adorno commends the composer who still adhere to express the inner spirit in the society that economy dominates everything and critiques those musical works according to the traditional rule in order to obtain social affirmation. His critical thought paces with the times characteristics, and it is also of great significance for the development and direction of 21 century music in society.
