Is Language a Music? presents broadly ranging explorations of musical reference that address how and why language cannot be the only measure of meanings. Music, the author insists, is pervaded by significations, but often their erasure is as pertinent to artistry as their construction. This volume's 15 essays in musical semiotics are grouped into sections that treat issues in structural description, present alternative views of theoretical foundations, consider the elaboration of gestural references to form musical discourse, explore some stylistic issues in 20th-century music, and examine the resistance to reference which is esteemed in the tradition of absolute music.

Musical Meaning and Interpretation―Robert S. Hatten, editor

About the Author

David Lidov is a composer whose theoretical investigations were an early and influential source of the musical semiotics movement of recent decades. He teaches at York University in Toronto.

EXPORT LICENSES FOR NON-SPANISH BUYERS
Please check with us before ordering, because in Spain it is forbidden to send items older than 100 years without an export license. The government grants almost all licenses, but the process takes about two months and taxes must be paid for sales outside the European Community. This implies a delay in shipping, but you are buying with guaranteed legality. PLEASE DO NOT BUY WITHOUT CONTACTING US FIRST.
