People chat about music every day, but they also treat it as a
limit, as the boundary of what is sayable. By addressing different
perspectives and traditions that form and inform the speaking of
music in Western culture--musical, literary, philosophical,
semiotic, political--this volume offers a unique snapshot of
today's scholarship on speech about music. The range of
considerations and material is wide. Among others, they include the
words used to interpret musical works (such as those of Beethoven),
the words used to channel musical practices (whether Bach's,
Rousseau's, or Hispanic political protesters'), and the words used
to represent music (whether in a dialogue by Plato, a story by
Balzac, or in an Italian popular song). The contributors consider
the ways that music may slide by words, as in the performance of an
Akpafu dirge or in Messiaen, and the ways that music may serve as
an embodied figure, as in the writings of Diderot or in the sound
and body art of Henri Chopin. The book concludes with an essay by
Jean-Luc Nancy.
