This is an abridged, paperback edition of Peter le Huray and James
Day's invaluable anthology of writings concerned with the role of
music in eighteenth- and early-nineteenth-century aesthetics. This
volume retains all the most important and significant items from
the original hardcover edition. Over fifty writers are represented
here, including such major figures as Rousseau, Kant, Schlegel,
Schopenhauer and Hegel, and the useful introductions and
biographical details of the original are also retained. The
aesthetic literature of the period is profuse but this carefully
edited volume offers a balanced selection which illuminates the
ways people experienced music and how they came to an understanding
in particular of the new music of their day.
