This book is devoted to music analysis as an interpretive activity.
Interpretation is often considered only in theory, or as a
philosophical problem, but this book attempts to demonstrate and
reflect on the interpretive results of analysis. Two associated
types of practice are emphasised: 'translation', the transformation
of one type of experience or art object into the musical work, the
artistic attempt to persuade us that the new product is as valid as
its original, or more so than its origin; and 'rhetoric', the
attempt to persuade us, through structure, to accept the signifying
power of the work. The unifying theme of the essays is the
interpretive transformation of concepts, ideas and forms that
constitutes the heart of the compositional process of nineteenth-
and twentieth-century music. The repertoire discussed ranges from
Schumann through Wagner, Mahler, Zemlinsky, Debussy, Schoenberg,
Berg, Webern and Stravinsky to Carter and Birtwistle.
