This book examines how this practice of quotation affected cultural dialogues regarding race, childhood, madness and the mass media. When a musician borrows from a piece, he or she draws upon not only a melody but also the cultural associations of the original piece. By working with and altering a melody, a musician also transforms those associations.", "item_img_path" : "https://covers1.booksamillion.com/covers/bam/0/52/182/509/0521825091_b.jpg", "price_data" : { "retail_price" : "133.00", "online_price" : "133.00", "our_price" : "133.00", "club_price" : "133.00", "savings_pct" : "0", "savings_amt" : "0.00", "club_savings_pct" : "0", "club_savings_amt" : "0.00", "discount_pct" : "10", "store_price" : "" } }
