Music as Discourse: Semiotic Adventures in Romantic Music (Oxford Studies in Music Theory)
... recommended warmly to theorists and others interested in music, semiotics, and aesthetics." ۥChoice
Radically departing from nineteenth-century Formalist aesthetics, the author argues that expressive meaning is not extramusical but fundamental to the reconstruction of compositional practice and stylistic understanding, even for the "absolute" works of Beethoven. Musical Meaning in Beethoven offers a fresh approach to the problem of expressive meaning in music.
