Cultural Narratives of Old Age in the Lives, Work, and Reception of Old Musicians

This book conceives of old age as a cultural formation rather than a biomedical condition. Beyond its critique of ageist reception of musicking, it suggests ways of composing, performing, and listening oldly that are shaped by the particularities of the old body and mind.
