{"product_id":"aesthetics-of-music-craig-dabelstein-9781936512645","title":"Aesthetics of Music: Aesthetics of Baroque Music in France","description":"For the first time, Dr. David Whitwell presents a thorough study of the performance of music in society together with the philosophical views on art versus entertainment, the role of performance in education and character formation and how earlier philosophers viewed the interplay among Reason, Emotions, experience and the senses. The present volume reveals a performance practice by the leading French composers which extends far beyond what appears on the page, in particular their joining their European colleagues in the emphasis on expressing emotions in music. This period included an extraordinary burst of philosophical thought on the nature of music and the ways in which French music contrasted with the Italian practice. All of these leading philosophers are treated extensively in this volume. Among these philosophers was Marin Mersenne (1588-1648), a very influential man of his time whose great encyclopedia on music, the Harmonie universelle (1636) has never been published in a complete English edition. The English reader will find here the most complete material from this great work to be found today. Finally, this period of French history includes two very influential thinkers, Descartes and Voltaire, whose thoughts on muisc are given extensive representation in this volume.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Craig Dabelstein, David Whitwell\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1936512645\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781936512645\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Whitwell Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/10\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 350\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":43937607581951,"sku":"9781936512645","price":45.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_e555de8e-3e55-43c7-8ed4-42baf2157364.jpg?v=1681431034","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/aesthetics-of-music-craig-dabelstein-9781936512645","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
