Opis

This book offers a fresh and accurate translation of Eduard Hanslick's watershed work On the Musically Beautiful (1854) in its 10th edition (1902), the last one Hanslick oversaw. It includes three introductory essays, explanatory annotations, a readers' guide, and a glossary of important terms and concepts.

Recenzje

A much-needed new critical translation from a bi-lingual team of scholars with relevant expertise in musicology, philosophical aesthetics, and history of theory. This translation is consistently faithful to the original, giving special care to terminological consistency, but without sacrificing the clarity and directness that distinguishes Hanslick's text from so much other philosophical writing on music in his time and since. Substantial introductory essays and a glossary provide valuable context for readers coming from different disciplines or approaching this classic text for the first time.
