The Sonic Self – Musical Subjectivity and Signification de Naomi Cumming

The Sonic Self – Musical Subjectivity and Signification

Autor Naomi Cumming
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 21 ian 2001
Using Classical violin music as her principal laboratory, the author examines how a performance incorporates distinctive features not only of the work but of the performer as well--and how the listener goes about interpreting not only the composer's work and the performer's rendering of the work, but the performer's and listener's identities as well. A richly interdisciplinary approach to a very common, yet persistently mysterious, part of our lives.

Recenzii

“Semioticians began by looking at literature but have gradually applied their techniques to other disciplines, including music. The late Naomi Cumming . . . based this consideration of the sources of musical expression on her experiences as a performer--with interesting, if rarely surprising, results." Choice"Enchanting. She is a graceful writer, who handles difficult technical issues here with a sure craftsmanship. While the technical literature . . . is vast, labyrinthine, and controversial, her argument cuts to the bone, with a few trenchant musical examples." Thomas A. Sebeok "Naomi Cumming combines a philosopher's rigor with a performer's sensitivity to interpretation, and her book promises to be a landmark synthesis of approaches to subjectivity and musical meaning. Among its virtues are a thoroughgoing exposition of Peircean theory as it can help address the philosophical issues of musical signification, from the vantage point of the musical subject as embodied, via musical gesture, in performance. . . . Her work will go far in bridging the gap between music semiotics and philosophical aesthetics." Robert Hatten
