The Corded Shell: Reflections on Musical Expression (Princeton Essays on the Arts)
Published by Princeton University Press, 1981
ISBN 10: 0691020140 ISBN 13: 9780691020143
Language: English
Seller: Epilonian Books, Manhattan Beach, CA, U.S.A.
Association Member: IOBA
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: Good. Princeton University Press [Published Date: 1980]. Soft cover, 167 pp. In good condition. Glossy orange and maroon paper covers have light bumping and creasing to edges and light overall scuffing. Binding tight. Moderate age spotting to edges of text block. Pages lightly aged but otherwise unmarked. [From back cover] Integrating eighteenth-century sources with recent aesthetic theories, Peter Kivy sets forth a view of musical expression that shows how emotive descriptions of music may be intelligible, methodologically sound, and hence a thoroughly respectable part of musical analysis and criticism. In doing so, he resolves the dilemma that has confronted both the untrained listener and the musical scholar or musician, namely: when musical description conforms to the scholar?s demand for scientific analysis and objectivity, it is too technical for the untrained listener to understand; yet if it is rendered humanistically intelligible to the layperson, the expert dismisses it as nonsense. In order to resolve the dilemma, the author contends, emotive description must be made respectable in the eyes of the learned so that it can stand alongside technical description as a valid analytic tool. Rather than decry emotive description as meaningless and subjective rambling on the part of the composer or of the critic, Professor Kivy suggests that emotive depictions of music be understood as really no different from our emotive depictions of each other and the world around us. If the criteria of musical expressiveness can be identified with those of human expression, he concludes, then these criteria provide a rational foundation for the emotive criticism of music.

Add to basketPaperback. Condition: Very Good. The Seventh Sense is the definitive study of the aesthetic theory of the great eighteenth-century philosopher Francis Hutcheson, arguably the founder of the modern discipline of aesthetics, and one of the most important figures of the Scottish Enlightenment. This new edition brings Peter Kivy's seminal work back into print, substantially expanded by the addition of seven essays, which deal primarily with Hutcheson's relation to other thinkers, and his influence on eighteenth- and early nineteenth-century aesthetics. Part I of The Seventh Sense presents a detailed analysis of Hutcheson's aesthetic theory. Part II traces the considerable influence of Hutcheson's theory up to the early years of the nineteenth century. Part III is a new and substantial addition to the original work, collecting Peter Kivy's essays on this topic since the first edition appeared, which deal primarily with Hutcheson, David Hume, and Thomas Reid. Philosophers of art, historians of philosophy, and historians working on eighteenth-century European art and culture will find this new edition an invaluable resource. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.
