Irony, one of the most basic, pervasive, and variegated of
rhetorical tropes, is as fundamental to musical thought as it is to
poetry, prose, and spoken language. In this wide-ranging study of
musical irony, Michael Cherlin draws upon the rich history of irony
as developed by rhetoricians, philosophers, literary scholars,
poets, and novelists. With occasional reflections on film music and
other contemporary works, the principal focus of the book is
classical music, both instrumental and vocal, ranging from Mozart
to Mahler. The result is a surprising array of approaches toward
the making and interpretation of irony in music. Including nearly
ninety musical examples, the book is clearly structured and
engagingly written. This interdisciplinary volume will appeal to
those interested in the relationship between music and literature
as well as to scholars of musical composition, technique, and
style.
