"Robert Hatten's new book is a worthy successor to his Musical
Meaning in Beethoven, which established him as a front-rank scholar
. . . in questions of musical meaning. . . . [B]oth how he
approaches musical works and what he says about them are timely and
to the point. Musical scholars in both musicology and theory will
find much of value here, and will find their notions of musical
meaning challenged and expanded." -Patrick McCreless This book
continues to develop the semiotic theory of musical meaning
presented in Robert S. Hatten's first book, Musical Meaning in
Beethoven (IUP, 1994). In addition to expanding theories of
markedness, topics, and tropes, Hatten offers a fresh contribution
to the understanding of musical gestures, as grounded in
biological, psychological, cultural, and music-stylistic
competencies. By focusing on gestures, topics, tropes, and their
interaction in the music of Mozart, Beethoven, and Schubert, Hatten
demonstrates the power and elegance of synthetic structures and
emergent meanings within a changing Viennese Classical style.
