Lydia Goehr The quest for voice
on music, politics, and the limits of philosophy; the 1997 Ernest Bloch lectures
Gedrukt boek
What is musical meaning? Where does it reside an how can it be known? Why is it claimed that music can express human feelings with an immediacy not possible in other arts? The author offers an account of the peculiar relation that was established between philosophy and music in the nineteenth century; a political reading of Wagner's opera Die Meistersinger; an argument for resituating musical autonomy in the spirit of Wagner's Gesamtkunstwerk; and an interpretation of Wagners's legacy as experienced by composers exiled from Nazi Germany.
