What does it mean to say that music is deeply moving? Or that
music's aesthetic value derives from its deep structure? This study
traces the widely employed trope of musical depth to its origins in
German-language music criticism and analysis. From the Romantic
aesthetics of E. T. A. Hoffmann to the modernist theories of Arnold
Schoenberg, metaphors of depth attest to the cross-pollination of
music with discourses ranging from theology, geology and poetics to
psychology, philosophy and economics. The book demonstrates that
the persistence of depth metaphors in musicology and music theory
today is an outgrowth of their essential role in articulating and
transmitting Germanic cultural values. While musical depth
metaphors have historically served to communicate German
nationalist sentiments, Watkins shows that an appreciation for the
broad connotations of those metaphors opens up exciting new avenues
for interpretation.
