A new wave of scholarship inspired by the ways the writers and
musicians of the long nineteenth century themselves approached the
relationship between music and words. Words and Notes encourages a
new wave of scholarship inspired by the ways writers and musicians
of the long nineteenth century themselves approached the
relationship between music and words. Contributors to the volume
engage in two dialogues: with nineteenth-century conceptions of
word-music relations, and with each other. Criss-crossing
disciplinary boundaries, the authors of the book's eleven essays
address new questions relating to listening, imagining and
performing music, the act of critique, and music's links with
philosophy and aesthetics. The many points of intersection are
elucidated in an editorial introduction and via a reflective
afterword. Fiction and poetry, musicography, philosophy, music
theory, science and music analysis all feature, as do traditions
within English, French and German studies. Wide-ranging material
foregrounds musical memory, soundscape and evocation; performer
dilemmas over the words in Satie's piano music; the musicality of
fictional and non-fictional prose; text-setting and the rights of
poet vs. composer; the rich novelistic and critical testimony of
audience inattention at the opera;German philosophy's potential
contribution to musical listening; and Hoffmann's send-ups of the
serious music-lover. Throughout, music - its composition,
performance and consumption - emerges as a profoundly physical and
social force, even when it is presented as the opposite. PHYLLIS
WELIVER is Associate Professor of English, Saint Louis University.

University of Bristol. Contributors: Helen Abbott, Noelle Chao,
