Sound and Sense: Music and Musical Metaphor in the Thought and Writing of Goethe and His Age
ISBN: 9783034302371 / Angielski / Miękka / 515 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This study focuses on beliefs about music current in eighteenth-century Germany. Of particular interest are the conceptual metaphors through which major writers (Goethe, Schiller, Herder and Klopstock) used music as analogy and medium for perceptions of the world in their writing. The book surveys traditional metaphors (music as harmony/disharmony, music as like/unlike language, music as structured by mathematical proportion or by rhythm) inherited from Greek and French thought and looks at ways in which these writers also assimilated and developed contemporary ideas (especially from Leibniz,...

Art in Motion : Musical and Athletic Motor Learning and Performance
ISBN: 9783631582725 / Angielski / Miękka / 264 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Musicians tend to believe that the mystery of their art cannot be objectively studied, quantified, or explained. As a result, the term -motor learning- is rarely used in connection with musicians, and an empirical approach to musical performance is more the exception than the rule. Sports scientists, however, show a great interest in musicians because of their advanced skill level and the attentional and emotional demands of the concert stage. This work combines knowledge across disciplines. Advances toward an understanding of human behavior and cognition offer clues to strategies of motor...

ISBN: 9780195367379 / Angielski / Miękka / 336 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The music we hear is always inhabited by voices of previous performances.

In An Eye for Music, author John Richardson navigates key areas of current thought - from music theory to film theory to cultural theory - to explore what it means that the experience of music is now cinematic, spatial, and visual as much as it is auditory. Richardson...

Electronic music since 1980 has splintered into a dizzying assortment of genres and subgenres, communities and subcultures.

Anthology of Twentieth-Century Music
ISBN: 9780393952841 / Angielski / Miękka / 464 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

All musical genres are represented and only complete works, movements or integral sections are included. To assist the reader, the book includes instructions on how to read a...

ISBN: 9780415692793 / Angielski / Miękka / 168 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. What can psychoanalysis learn from music? What can music learn from psychoanalysis? Can the analysis of music itself provide a primary source of psychological data? Drawing on Freud's concept of the oral road to the unconscious, Melodies of the Mind invites the reader to take a journey on an aural and oral road that explores both music and emotion, and their links to the unconscious. In this book, Julie Jaffee Nagel discusses how musical and psychoanalytic concepts inform each other, showing the ways that music itself provides an exceptional non-verbal pathway to emotion - a source of 'quasi'...

Friendly Remainders: Essays in Music Criticism After Adorno
ISBN: 9780773539198 / Angielski / Miękka / 248 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Friendly Remainders draws on Adorno's concept of the negative dialectic, examining its importance in Adorno's thought and its critical application to musical forms. Moving beyond a positivist view where musical object and appreciation operate as a synthesis, the negative dialectic method focuses on divergence and dissonance in musical forms and in society. Contradictions and divergent details and concepts become "remainders," friendly because of the fresh perspective they offer on musical forms. Dineen examines these contradictory remainders in subjects such as the fascist element in Wagner's...

Sonic Possible Worlds: Hearing the Continuum of Sound
ISBN: 9781623565091 / Angielski / Miękka / 216 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Inspired by its use in literary theory, film criticism and the discourse of game design, Salome Voegelin adapts and develops "possible world theory" in relation to sound. David K Lewis' Possible World is juxtaposed with Maurice Merleau-Ponty's life-world, to produce a meeting of the semantic and the phenomenological at the place of listening. The central tenet of "Sonic Possible Worlds" is that at present traditional musical compositions and contemporary sonic outputs are approached and investigated through separate and distinct critical languages and histories. As a consequence, no... Inspired by its use in literary theory, film criticism and the discourse of game design, Salome Voegelin adapts and develops "possible world theory... |
