Produktbeschreibung

This anthology of fourteen essays, each addressing a single key concept or pair of terms in the aesthetics of music, serves as an authoritative work on musical aesthetics that addresses both central as well as somewhat neglected topics and issues in the field. Each essay covers historical origins, sources, and developments of the chosen idea, surveys important musicological approaches, and offers new critical angles or musical case studies in interpretation, supported by a wealth of musical examples from works in the 18th, 19th, and into the 20th century.
