The writings of Sulzer and Koch represent a significant confluence of philosophical and musical thought from the German Enlightenment. Koch creatively adapted many of Sulzer's abstract philosophical ideas to concrete questions of musical pedagogy, showing how they could be usefully applied to the teaching and analysis of musical composition. This collaborative study and translation of the texts will be of interest to all historians of music, music theory, and historians of eighteenth-century German aesthetic thought.
Can an abstract theory of Empfindsamkeit aesthetics have any value
to a musician wishing to study composition in the classical style?
The eighteenth-century German theorist and pedagogue Heinrich Koch
showed how this question could be answered with a resounding yes.
Starting with the systematic aesthetic theory of the Swiss
encyclopedist Johann Sulzer, Koch was creatively able to adapt
Sulzer's conservative ideas on ethical mimesis and rhetoric to
concrete problems of music analysis and composition. In this
collaborative study, Thomas Christensen and Nancy Baker have
translated and analysed selected writings of Sulzer and Koch
respectively, bringing to life a little-known confluence of
philosophical and musical thought from the German Enlightenment.
Koch's appropriation of Sulzer's ideas to the service of music
represents an important development in the evolution of Western
musical thought.
