Musical Understandings presents an engaging collection of essays on the philosophy of music, written by Stephen Davies - one of the most distinguished philosophers in the field. He explores a range of topics in the philosophy of music, including how music expresses emotion and what isdistinctive to the listener's response to this expressiveness; the modes of perception and understanding that can be expected of skilled listeners, performers, analysts, and composers and the various manners in which these understandings can be manifest; the manner in which musical works exist andtheir relation to their instances or performances; and musical profundity. As well as reviewing the work of philosophers of music, a number of the chapters both draw on and critically reflect on current work by psychologists concerning music. The collection includes new material, a number of adaptedarticles which allow for a more comprehensive, unified treatment of the issues at stake, and work published in English for the first time. | Musical Understandings by STEPHEN DAVIES, Hardcover | Indigo Chapters
