Description
Music is said to be the most autonomous and least representative of all the arts. However, it reflects in many ways the realities around it and influences its social and cultural environments. Music is as much biology, gender, gesture - something intertextual, even transcendental. Musical signs can be studied throughout their history as well as musical semiotics with its own background. Composers from Chopin to Sibelius and authors from Nietzsche to Greimas and Barthes illustrate the avenues of this new discipline within semiotics and musicology.

"'Signs of music: a guide to musical semiotics' von Eero Tarasti ist ein Buch, das sein Versprechen erfullt. Es ist eine motivierende Lekture, sowohl fur diejenigen, die zum ersten Mal mit dieser neuen Disziplin in Beruhrung kommen, als auch fur die in diese Materie bereits eingeweihten. Das faszinierende hervortretende Feld Musiksemiotik ist ein vielfaltiger und komplexer Diskurs und Metadiskurs uber Musik und Zeichen in Bezug auf Asthetik, Geschichte, Komposition, Interpretation, Kommunikation, Praxis, usw. Eero Tarasti verbindet wissenschaftliche Genauigkeit mit Offenheit und bietet hier eine Grundlage fur weitere Entwicklungen."Paulo C.
