Historical Formalism in Music: Toward a Philosophical Theory of Musical Form
Contemporary Aesthetics 12:N/A (2014)
Abstract
In this paper I begin to fashion a theory of musical form that I call historical formalism. Historical formalism posits that our perception of the formal properties of a musical work is informed by considerations not only of artistic categories but also of the historical, sociopolitical, and cultural circumstances within which that work was composed.Author's Profile
