Listening Subjects by David Schwarz
Using classical, popular, and avant-garde music as texts, this title addresses such questions as: why do bodies develop goose bumps when listening to music and why does music sound so good when heard 'all around'. It shows how the historical conditions under which music is created affect the listening experience.
“Schwarz has a keen music-analytical sense, a solid grounding in psychoanalysis, and an effervescent intellectual energyHis project is a fresh and distinctive addition to the ongoing rapprochement between musicology, critical theory, and cultural studies.”—Lawrence Kramer, Fordham University
David Schwarz is Valentine Professor of Music at Amherst College.
