The Language of Music
London, England, Oxford University Press, 1959. First Edition. Hardcover. Size: 8vo 8" - 9" tall. Sturdy, attractive, tightly bound in hardcover format, generally clean, lightly toned at worst, minimal rubbing to extremities, sunning to especially spine, a bit of discoloration to rear panel, previous owner's ink-stamp inside front flap, dealer stamp, neatly affixed there. Gilt- lettered title to spine. According to the publisher's blurb for a subsequent edition, "This important and controversial book has come to be regarded as a modern classic. Originally published in 1959, it has exerted a profound influence on all subsequent discussion in the field of musical aesthetics. The author's thesis is that the main characteristic of music is to express and evoke emotion, and that all composers whose music has a tonal basis have used the same, or closely similar, melodic phrases, harmonies, and rhythms to express and evoke the same emotions. He supports this view with numerous musical examples, varying from plainsong to Stravinsky. Based on this evidence he argues that music is a language in the quite specific sense that idioms can be identified and a list of meanings compiled. While acknowledging that a 'dictionary' of the language of music cannot easily be provided, he attempts to supply what could at least be regarded as a 'phrase book'. The enlightening analysis of two complete symphonies by Mozart and Vaughan Williams demonstrates the expressive function of musical form, the latter being an element which the author considers inseparable from musical content." xiv [2], 2-289 pp.Member, I.O.B.A., C.B.A., and adherent to the highest ethical standards. . . .
