This influence, however, belies the contentious idea at the heart of his musical thought, an idea he defended for most of his career--harmonic dualism. By situating Riemann's musical thought within turn-of-the-century discourses about the natural sciences, German nationhood and modern technology, this book reconstructs the cultural context in which Riemann's ideas not only 'made sense' but advanced an understanding of the tonal tradition as both natural and German. Riemann's musical thought--from his considerations of acoustical properties to his aesthetic and music-historical views--thus regains the coherence and cultural urgency that it once possessed. 600 10 Riemann, Hugo, |d1849-1919 |xCriticism and interpretation. |=^A24123 650 0 Music theory |xHistory. |=^A1018539 650 0 Musicology |xHistory. |=^A15538 830 0 New perspectives in music history and criticism. |=^A359753 994 X0 |bERE 596 3 998 915713
