What makes a classical song a song? In a wide-ranging 2004
discussion, covering such contrasting composers as Brahms and
Berberian, Schubert and Kurtag, Jonathan Dunsby considers the
nature of vocality in songs of the nineteenth and twentieth
centuries. The essence and scope of poetic and literary meaning in
the Lied tradition is subjected to close scrutiny against the
backdrop of 'new musicological' thinking and music-theoretical
orthodoxies. The reader is thus offered the best insights available
within an evidence-based approach to musical discourse. Schoenberg
figures conspicuously as both songsmith and theorist, and some
easily comprehensible Schenkerian approaches are used to convey
ideas of musical time and expressive focus. In this work of
scholarship and theoretical depth, Professor Dunsby's highly
original approach and engaging style will ensure its appeal to all
practising musicians and students of Romantic and modern music.
