Peter Kivy is the author of many books on the history of art and,
in particular, the aesthetics of music. This collection of essays
spans a period of some thirty years and focuses on a richly diverse
set of issues: the biological origins of music, the role of music
in the liberal education, the nature of the musical work and its
performance, the aesthetics of opera, the emotions of music, and
the very nature of music itself. Some of these subjects are viewed
as part of the history of ideas, others as current problems in the
philosophy of art. A particular feature of the volume is that Kivy
avoids the use of musical notation so that no technical knowledge
at all is required to appreciate his work. The essays will prove
enjoyable and insightful not just to professionals in the
philosophy of art and musicologists, or to musicians themselves,
but also to any motivated general reader with a deep interest in
music.
