Description
Leo Treitler explores the relationships among language, musical notation, performance, compositional practice, and patterns of culture in the presentation and representation of music. He examines how graphic signs relate to music and what makes music meaningful.
This book draws on a wide range of historical sources to discuss works from medieval plainchant to Berg's opera Lulu, covering a diverse range of musical styles in between.
