Table of ContentsReviewsWith a teacher's efficacy, Jonathan Friedmann leads us down a well-groomed path of ideas surrounding musical aesthetics. The book gathers together and presents a useful pastiche of brief essays-from the myriad of ideas and concepts of musical aesthetics to the fundamental ideas surrounding the current knowledge of humanity's very start in music, along with the philosophy, sociology and even biological sciences of music. Each concept is defined, and the essentials from foundational readings and discussions in each area are presented in crystal clear and succinct fashion. Using six sections as an organizing scheme, Friedmann presents a readable and astute essence on each area of music. This book is chock full of insights and statements that will fill your notebook of pithy quotes about music for years to come. Judith S. PinnolisBerklee College of Music; Boston Conservatory at Berklee In Musical Aesthetics, Jonathan Friedmann has created a wide-ranging introduction to the relationship between music and perception. These elegantly-written essays will be appreciated by students and scholars alike due to the holistic approach to the subject. Friedmann focuses his study on experiential aesthetics-as opposed to some traditionally intellectual evaluations of beauty-due to the intrinsically abstract nature of music.
