The Frontiers of Meaning by Charles Rosen
What does it mean to understand music? What, if anything, does music mean? Composers, performers, listeners, and academics may answer these questions differently, but what sense of music do they share? When music seems unfamiliar or unlike anything we have heard before, we may say that we don't like it. How is taking pleasure from music related to understanding it? This book explores these and other issues as they arise in various musical contexts.Charles Rosen (1927-2012) was a well-known pianist around the world. He studied with Moriz Rosenthal and has played and recorded works by Bach to Pierre Boulez. The Classical Style, The Romantic Generation, Romantic Poets, Critics and Other Madmen, and Critical Entertainments are among his prize-winning novels.
