Zusammenfassung:
Revived with new intensity at the end of the 20th century, questions of meaning & interpretation in music continue to generate widespread interest & give rise to new research directions & methods. This collection of essays brings together leading musicologists & music theorists working across a range of genres to offer fresh perspectives on a concern that bestrides every area of musical scholarship. While many accounts of musical meaning tend to limit & constrain, this text contends that music's capacity to mean is virtually limitless & therefore resists clean & orderly taxonomies. Taken together, the essays attest to this nearly infinite variety of ways in which music may mean. Individually, they explore the intellectual underpinnings of rotational form, the mysterious agencies that populate our hermeneutic discourse, & the significance of pleasure in the interpretive act.
