{"product_id":"aesthetics-of-music-craig-dabelstein-9781936512379","title":"Aesthetics of Music: Aesthetics of Music in the Early Renaissance","description":"For the first time, Dr. David Whitwell presents a thor-ough study of the per-for-mance of music in soci-ety together with the philo-soph-i-cal views on art ver-sus enter-tain-ment, the role of per-for-mance in edu-ca-tion and char-ac-ter for-ma-tion and how ear-lier philoso-phers viewed the inter-play among Rea-son, Emo-tions, expe-ri-ence and the senses. The present vol-ume stud-ies these ques-tions and more dur-ing the first two cen-turies of the Renais-sance. While the Church con-tin-ued to spon-sor impor-tant music, the spot-light had clearly turned to the grow-ing cul-ti-va-tion of the arts in the indi-vid-ual courts and the pub-lic at large, as is doc-u-mented by a num-ber of great writ-ers, among them Petrarch, Boc-cac-cio and Chaucer. It should be no sur-prise that some friends of Leonardo da Vinci con-sid-ered him the great-est musi-cian known to them, a fact almost entirely for-got-ten today. This wide inter-est in the per-for-mance of music caused the music the-o-rists to begin to aban-don the old Church dogma about music being a branch of math-e-mat-ics and to recon-sider music as an expres-sion of man.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Craig Dabelstein,David Whitwell\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1936512378\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781936512379\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Whitwell Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/30\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 352\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.33lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.25h x 7.50w x 0.73d","brand":"Craig Dabelstein","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48486392201471,"sku":"9781936512379","price":45.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_799edb66-b327-47d7-9dd5-f3921d480ca0.jpg?v=1778055241","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/aesthetics-of-music-craig-dabelstein-9781936512379","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
