Representing Stephen Davies's best shorter writings, these essays outline developments within the philosophy of music over the last two decades, and summarize the state of play at the beginning of a new century. Including two new and previously unpublished pieces, they address both perennial questions and contemporary controversies, such as that over the 'authentic performance' movement, and the impact of modern technology on the presentation and reception of musical works. Rather than attempting to reduce musical works to a single type, Davies recognizes a great variety of kinds, and a complementary range of possibilities for their rendition.

Editorial Reviews

Review

`Review from previous edition a collection of important and well-known essays by an influential philosopher of music . . . Davies is fascinating on his home turf, which is the analytic philosophy of the musical arts, and those who are tempted by or subscribe to this worldview should invest in this book immediately.' British Journal of Aesthetics

Book Description

A leading scholar discusses many kinds of music and illuminates many aspects of music-making

4.0 out of 5 stars Thought provoking
Reviewed in the United States on November 6, 2014
Very satisfying book. I have been reading quite a bit about the philosophy of music lately, this work has contributed, at least in my case, to help get a better understanding of the issues involved in the relationship of music and emotions.
