Musical Expression and Performance. A Philosophical Study - Carl Humphries - książka
Producent: WAM
This research delves into the philosophical issue of understanding music as an expressive art form on an aesthetic level. Initially, it explores various general theories that attempt to explain the expressiveness of music and how it factors into our aesthetic appreciation. These theories consider the similarities between music and human behavior or emotions, music's capability to evoke feelings, and the imaginative interpretations listeners may apply to it. However, the study concludes that none of these theories are fully satisfactory. Instead, it proposes a novel approach, emphasizing the role of performance interpretation in our appreciation of music as an expressive art. This interpretation requires an actual, albeit minimal, human presence during the performance, which enriches its expressive nature. Ultimately, this perspective offers a satisfactory resolution to the numerous dilemmas and paradoxes associated with evaluating music expressively.Humphries’ book is heralded as a dependable, critical, and creatively effective solution to longstanding issues related to works of art, earning it significant praise. Dr. hab. Piotr Mróz of Jagiellonian University highly recommends it for its clearly structured, logical arguments and intriguing topic choices. Making this study accessible to the public is expected to significantly benefit aesthetic culture and elevate the quality of music criticism, underscoring the importance of meticulously framed and subtly nuanced philosophical discourse.
