Recognizing Music as an Art Form by Barbara Titus

Recognizing Music as an Art Form by Barbara Titus

This is a welcome contribution to the field of the history of music aesthetics
Sanna Pederson, University of Oklahoma

Barbara Titus' Recognizing Music as an Art Form is the first study in any language to present Vischer's musical thought in its historical context and explains its importance in nineteenth-century conceptions of the art. Her book is an impressive piece of work, carefully documented and clearly presented. Mark Evan Bonds, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill

Cet ouvrage est donc un apport majeur à la philosophie de la musique, à la connaissance des débats qui sous-tendent une musique parfois oubliée. Mais c’est aussi la philosophie du XIXe siècle qui sort enrichie d’une telle étude. [...] Très utile car chaque pays parle, hélas, son propre Hegel, un glossaire hégélien complète ce livre admirablement documenté. « Analyses et Comptes rendus », Revue philosophique de la France et de l'étranger 2017/2 (Tome 142), p. 229-294.
