Excerpt from The Thought in Music: An Enquiry Into the Principles of Musical Rhythm, Phrasing and Expression
This book is an attempt to formulate a definite basis on which the musical facts underlying the principles of shape in musical structure may be correlated and codified.
That these facts are the result of the operation of psychological and physiological processes, and therefore amenable and subject to the laws which regulate these two contrasted sides of human activity, is a conception which - so far as the musician is concerned - requires no absolute proof, even if it is incapable of such.
We, who practise this sensitive and beautiful art, realise in proportion to our experience of its ways and affections, that the necessity which accompanies its manifestations is due, not to caprice or accident, but to some deeply underlying principle inherent in the very nature of the human mind. In all its manifestations, in all the varying conditions of place and time, the musical sound in a greater or in a less degree expresses something which is in agreement with the fundamental constitution of the human mind, and expresses this in a way sympathetic to, and conditioned by, the nature of consciousness itself.

Verkäuferbewertung 5 von 5 Sternen
Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the fascinating realm of musical structure, specifically exploring the principles of shape and form in music. The author contends that these principles are not arbitrary but are deeply rooted in the human mind's psychological and physiological processes. Drawing parallels with language, the author highlights the importance of articulation and consistency in both speech and music. Just as consonants give meaning to vowel sounds, elements like time and accent provide structure and intelligibility to musical sounds. The book delves into the concept of tonality as a crucial framework for understanding musical relationships, emphasizing its evolution and cultural variations. Exploring the psychological basis of rhythm, the author examines how our perception of time and periodicity shapes our musical experience. Concepts such as beats, bars, and phrases are dissected, revealing the intricate interplay of attention, accent, and emotional force in creating rhythmic patterns. The book delves into various rhythmic modifications, including syncopation and tempo rubato, demonstrating how composers manipulate these elements to convey specific emotions and ideas. Through its insightful analysis of musical structure, this book sheds light on the profound connection between music, the human mind, and the expression of thought and emotion. By understanding the underlying principles of musical shape, we gain a deeper appreciation for the artistry and expressive power of music.
