A History of Western Musical Aesthetics
By:Edward A. Lippman
Published on 1992-01 by U of Nebraska Press
Among the fine arts music has always held a paramount position. |Musical training is a more potent instrument than any other, because rhythm and harmony find their way into the inward places of the soul, | wrote Plato. From the |music of the spheres| of Pythagoras to the |Future Music| of Wagner, from churches, courts, cathedrals, and concert halls to amateur recitals, military marches, and electronic records, music has commanded the perpetual attention of every civilization in history. This book follows through the centuries the debates about the place and function of music, the perceived role of music as a good or bad influence on the development of character, as a magical art or a domestic entertainment, and as a gateway to transcendental truths. Edward Lippman describes the beginnings of musical tradition in the myths and philosophies of antiquity. He shows how music theory began to take on new dimensions and intensity in the seventeenth century, how musical aesthetics was specifically defined and elaborated in the eighteenth century, and how, by the nineteenth century, music became the standard by which other arts were judged. The twentieth century added problems, pressure, and theories as music continued to diversify and as cultures viewed each other with more respect.
