Sounding Off brings together a selection of essays on philosophy of
music written by Peter Kivy--the leading expert on the subject. The
essays fall into four groups, corresponding to Kivy's major
interests. Part I contains two essays on the nature of musical
genius. In Part II, three essays take up the subject of
authenticity in performance, and explore what Kivy terms "the
authenticity of interpretation." Part III contains four essays
concerning the much discussed issues of musical representation and
musical meaning. Finally, Part IV consists of three essays on the
"pure musical parameters": these are essays on "music alone" or
"absolute music"--music as the pure, formal structure of
(sometimes) expressive sound. Eight of the eleven essays presented
here are previously unpublished, and the book includes two
appendices which provide Kivy's responses to criticism.
