Although philosophers have examined and commented on music for
centuries, Martin Heidegger, one of the greatest philosophers of
the 20th century, had frustratingly little to say about
music-directly, at least. This volume, the first to tackle
Heidegger and music, features contributions from philosophers,
musicians, educators, and musicologists from many countries
throughout the world, aims to utilize Heidegger's philosophy to
shed light on the place of music in different contexts and fields
of practice. Heidegger's thought is applied to a wide range of
musical spheres, including improvisation, classical music,
electronic music, African music, ancient Chinese music, jazz, rock
n' roll, composition, and musical performance. The volume also
features a wide range of philosophical insights on the essence of
music, music's place in society, and the promise of music's ability
to open up new ways of understanding the world with the onset of
the technological and digital musical age. Heidegger and Music
breaks new philosophical ground by showcasing creative vignettes
that not only push Heidegger's concepts in new directions, but also
get us to question the meaning of music in various contexts.
