Emotion and Meaning in Music (Phoenix Books)

Emotion and Meaning in Music (Phoenix Books)

It clears the air of many confused notions . . . and lays the groundwork for exhaustive study of the basic problem of music theory and aesthetics, the relationship between pattern and meaning."â€”David Kraehenbuehl, Journal of Music Theory
