The Beautiful in Music (Classic Reprint): A Contribution to the Revisal of Musical Aesthetics: A Contribution to the Revisal of Musical Aesthetics (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Inhaltsangabe
What makes music truly beautiful isn’t the feelings it stirs, but the way its sounds are built.
This classic work explores how beauty in music arises from its own structures, not from external ideas or mere emotional representation. It argues for an objective standard of musical beauty and shows how themes, form, and development drive our experience of a composition.
In thoughtful, accessibly written chapters, Hanslick contrasts music with language, mathematics, and the visual arts to reveal what is unique about musical beauty. He explains how a thème functions as the true core of a piece, and how form and substance inseparably shape each other. The book also addresses common myths about music’s purpose, offering a clear, practical framework for listening with a musician’s ear.What you’ll experience
- A clear distinction between musical form and subject, and how they interplay
- A practical framework for evaluating beauty in a composition
- Explanations of why music’s value goes beyond feelings or narrative
- A historical perspective on debates about what music can and should express

Verkäuferbewertung 4 von 5 Sternen
Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the heart of musical aesthetics, challenging the long-held belief that music's primary purpose is to represent and evoke emotions. Through meticulous analysis, the author argues that music's true power lies in its ability to express ideas of motion, intensity, and complexity through the artful arrangement of sounds. By exploring the historical and philosophical underpinnings of musical aesthetics, the author exposes the limitations of relying on subjective emotional responses to understand music's beauty. Instead, this book advocates for a more objective approach, focusing on the inherent qualities of musical compositions themselves. This exploration of music's essence reveals a depth and complexity that transcends the mere evocation of feelings. The author demonstrates how music can express abstract concepts like grace, elegance, and vigor through its unique language of sound. Ultimately, this book invites us to experience music in a new light, appreciating its intricate structures and inherent beauty without seeking to impose extraneous meanings or emotional narratives.
