ISBN: 9780872863613 / Angielski / Miękka / 1128 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

ISBN: 9781859843680 / Angielski / Miękka / 436 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

Zwischen Einfuhlung and Abstraktion: Studien Zum Problem Des Symphonischen Typus Anton Bruckners

As a result the author delves into a detailed analysis of the problems associated with symphonic typology and places the composer's pieces into a unique position somewhere between sympathy and abstraction. The discussion continues with an application of the psychological theories of Wilhelm Dilthey, Carl Jung, and...
