Jairo Moreno

Musical Representations, Subjects, and Objects

The Construction of Musical Thought in Zarlino, Descartes, Rameau, and Weber

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Jairo Moreno adapts the methodologies and nomenclature of Foucault's "archaeology of knowledge" and applies it through individual case studies to the theoretical writings of Zarlino, Descartes, Rameau, and Weber. His conclusion summarizes the conditions-musical, philosophical, and historical-that "make a certain form of thought about music necessary and possible at the time it emerges."
