| Abstract | This book explores musical meaning, music's critical function in human lives, and the relationship between listening and musical material. The author outlines an "ecological approach" to understanding the perception of music, arguing that the way we hear and understand music is not simply a function of our brain structure or of the musical "codes" given to us by culture, but must be considered within the physical and social contexts of listening. Also includes an extensive chapter with analysis of Beethoven's String Quartet in A minor, op. 132. |
