Beschrijving

The musical thought and practice of canonical composers.
What can music tell us - without words? Can it depict scenes, narrate stories,
elucidate beliefs? And can it be an instrument through which we access
the inner lives not only of musicians from the past but of ourselves, today?
In 'Ohne Worte' five scholars and performers probe these and related questions
to illuminate both the experience and performance of nineteenthcentury
music. Drawing on a rich range of sources, they reveal the musical
thought and practice of canonical composers like Berlioz, Mendelssohn,
and Schumann. Their work challenges us to reconsider our musical practices
and the voices manifested in them, and it encourages the creation of
an art that is both historical and transcendental.
