In Part I, the historical origins of both the literary interpretation of absolute music and musical formalism are laid out. In Part II, specific attempts to put literary interpretations on various works of the absolute music canon are examined and criticized. Finally, in Part III, the question is raised as to what the human significance of absolute music is, if it does not lie in its representational or narrative content. The answer is that, as yet, philosophy has no answer, and that the question should be considered an important one for philosophers of art to consider, and to try to answer without appeal to representational or narrative content.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: GBItem Height: 217mmItem Length: 140mmItem Width: 16mmAuthor: Peter KivyGenre: Philosophy & SpiritualityItem Weight: 350gTopic: Music Dance & TheatreRelease Year: 2011 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
