The Continuum Aesthetics Series looks at the aesthetic questions
and issues raised by all major art forms. Stimulating, engaging and
accessible, the series offers food for thought not only for
students of aesthetics, but also for anyone with an interest in
philosophy and the arts. Aesthetics and Music is a fresh and often
provocative exploration of the key concepts and arguments in
musical aesthetics. It draws on the rich heritage of the subject,
while proposing distinctive new ways of thinking about music as an
art form. The book looks at: The experience of listening Rhythm and
musical movement What modernism has meant for musical aesthetics
The relation of music to other 'sound arts' Improvisation and
composition as well as more traditional issues in musical
aesthetics such as absolute versus programme music and the question
of musical formalism. Thinkers discussed range from Pythagoras and
Plato to Kant, Nietzsche and Adorno. Areas of music covered include
classical, popular and traditional music, and jazz. Aesthetics and
Music makes an eloquent case for a humanistic, democratic and
genuinely aesthetic conception of music and musical understanding.
Anyone interested in what contemporary philosophy has to say about
music as an art form will find this thought-provoking and highly
enjoyable book required reading.
