The first full-length analytical study of Edward Elgar's music,
this book argues that Elgar was a modernist composer, and that his
music constitutes a pessimistic twentieth-century assessment of the
nature of human being. Focusing on Elgar's music rather than his
life, Harper-Scott blends the hermeneutic and existential
philosophy of Martin Heidegger with music-analytical methods
derived from Heinrich Schenker and James Hepokoski. In the course
of engaging with debates centred on duotonality in musical
structures, sonata deformations, meaning in music, the nature of
tragedy, and the quest narrative, the book rejects
poststructuralist and literary-theoretical interpretations of
music, radically interprets Schenkerian theory, and tentatively
outlines a new space - a Heideggerian 'clearing' - in which music
of all periods can be understood to operate, be experienced, and be
understood. The book includes a detailed glossary which provides
the reader with clear definitions of important and difficult terms.
