Discussion concerning the 'musicality' of Samuel Beckett's writing
now constitutes a familiar critical trope in Beckett Studies, one
that continues to be informed by the still-emerging evidence of
Beckett's engagement with music throughout his personal and
literary life, and by the ongoing interest of musicians in
Beckett's work. In Beckett's drama and prose writings, the
relationship with music plays out in implicit and explicit ways.
Several of his works incorporate canonical music by composers such
as Schubert and Beethoven. Other works integrate music as a
compositional element, in dialogue or tension with text and image,
while others adopt rhythm, repetition and pause to the extent that
the texts themselves appear to be 'scored'. But what, precisely,
does it mean to say that a piece of prose or writing for theatre,
radio or screen, is 'musical'? The essays included in this book
explore a number of ways in which Beckett's writings engage with
and are engaged by musicality, discussing familiar and less
familiar works by Beckett in detail. Ranging from the scholarly to
the personal in their respective modes of response, and informed by
approaches from performance and musicology, literary studies,
philosophy, musical composition and creative practice, these essays
provide a critical examination of the ways we might comprehend
musicality as a definitive and often overlooked attribute
throughout Beckett's work.
