o:104505 Life as an Aesthetic Idea of Music en The volume at hand presents an inquiry about life as an aesthetic idea of music. If music, above all purely instrumental, 'absolute' music expresses aesthetic ideas, and even the idea of the aesthetic idea itself as an affective substrate of language and culture, as Kant claimed, then the most inclusive aesthetic idea cannot be but life. No wonder then that there have been compositions ambitious enough to address this most inclusive idea and the indefinite object of life directly in their titles and programmes, such as Carl Nielsen's Fourth Symphony The Inextinguishable. If the object of life is indefinite, a necessarily complementary strategy to approach life as an aesthetic idea of music is to trace compositions addressing the aesthetic ideas closest to it. Subjectivity, process, heroism, emerging presence, eccentric positionality, virtual temporality, biography, all these are ideas that explicate, transcend, and dramatize life. yes 2020-04-29T09:37:17.000Z 44 yes 46 Manos Perrakis Editor 47 Universal Edition: Vienna London New York 46 Andreas Dorschel University of Music and Performing Arts Graz 46 Julian Johnson Royal Holloway, University of London 46 Kathrin Kirsch Christian-Albrechts Universität Kiel 46 Maria João Neves New University of Lisbon, Center of Studies of Sociology and Musical Aesthetics (CESEM) 46 Nanette Nielsen University of Oslo, RITMO Centre for Interdisciplinary Studies in Rythm, Time and Motion 46 Michael Spitzer University of Liverpool 46 Benedict Taylor University of Edinburgh 46 Markos Tsetsos University of Athens 46 Laura Tunbridge University of Oxford 1557146 Paul Harm 1556250 1557087 application/pdf 7313154 no yes 1 1556227 1552257 A1 13943 A1 13943 Royal Holloway, University of London,Christian-Albrechts Universität Kiel,New University of Lisbon, Center of Studies of Sociology and Musical Aesthetics (CESEM),University of Oslo, RITMO Centre for Interdisciplinary Studies in Rythm, Time and Motion,University of Liverpool,University of Edinburgh,University of Athens,University of Oxford 1557091 M 2072-G26 1557233 Production of this Book was supported by: Das Land Steiermark Wissenschaft und Forschung 2019-02-19
