Does music contain emotion? Does music have meaning? These questions are at the heart of all musical experience, for professionals, amateurs and audiences. Combining readability with intellectual inquiry, this book argues that meaning and emotion are vital, and depend on the contexts and conditions of performance. Arguing for the power of music, this book encourages everyone to think about what music means to them personally, and as an art form.
Published by Prima la Musica, the book is available for £10, and as an ebook from Amazon and all other online book retailers.
