Produktbeschreibung

A historically situated study of the relationship between music, sound and the sublime, this book embraces familiar works and composers, such as Handel, C. P. E. Bach, Haydn and Wagner, but also explores less familiar repertory and source material. Performers and audiences are also considered as agents and sites of sublime experience.
