Ernst Kurth

Opis

The first edition of Ernst Kurth’s Musikpsychologie appeared in 1931, and was regarded as no less than the foundation for a new ‘systematic’ music psychology (Wellek 1933). Tan and Neidhöfer’s first full translation provides English-speaking theorists the opportunity to delve deeper into his ideas.
