Musical semiotics is a new discipline and paradigm of both
semiotics and musicology. In its tradition, the current volume
constitutes a radically new solution to the theoretical problem of
how musical meanings emerge and how they are transmitted by musical
signs even in most "absolute" and abstract musical works of Western
classical heritage. Works from symphonies, lied, chamber music to
opera are approached and studied here with methods of semiotic
inspiration. Its analyses stem from systematic methods in the
author's previous work, yet totally new analytic concepts are also
launched in order to elucidate profound musical significations
verbally. The book reflects the new phase in the author's semiotic
approach, the one characterized by the so-called "existential
semiotics" elaborated on the basis of philosophers from Kant ,
Hegel and Kierkegaard to Jaspers, Heidegger, Sartre and Marcel. The
key notions like musical subject, Schein, becoming, temporality,
modalities, Dasein, transcendence put musical facts in a completely
new light and perspectives of interpretation. The volume attempts
to make explicit what is implicit in every musical interpretation,
intuition and understanding: to explain how compositions and
composers "talk" to us. Its analyses are accessible due to the
book's universal approach. Music is experienced as a language,
communicating from one subject to another.
