New Perspectives in Music History and Criticism, 11. Condition: Fine/Near Fine, appears as unread, with inventory number in blue ink on first free endpaper. In Near Fine dust jacket with an unusual localized printing anomaly to the upper orange band, resulting in an irregular area of deficient orange ink at the left; the surface coating and texture remain uniform, most likely indicating a production defect rather than subsequent fading or wear. Rehding's study reassesses the musical thought of Hugo Riemann (1849-1919), particularly harmonic dualism, by placing his theories in the wider intellectual context of late nineteenth- and early twentieth-century natural science, German nationalism, technology, aesthetics, and the emerging academic discipline of musicology.

Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. Generally acknowledged as the most important German musicologist of his age, Hugo Riemann (18491919) shaped the ideas of generations of music scholars, not least because his work coincided with the institutionalisation of academic musicology around the turn of the last century. This influence, however, belies the contentious idea at the heart of his musical thought, an idea he defended for most of his career - harmonic dualism. By situating Riemann's musical thought within turn-of-the-century discourses about the natural sciences, German nationhood and modern technology, this book reconstructs the cultural context in which Riemann's ideas not only 'made sense' but advanced an understanding of the tonal tradition as both natural and German. Riemann's musical thought - from his considerations of acoustical properties to his aesthetic and music-historical views - thus regains the coherence and cultural urgency that it once possessed. By situating Riemann's musical thought within turn-of-the-century discourses about the natural sciences, German nationhood and modern technology, this book reconstructs the cultural context in which Riemann's ideas not only 'made sense' but advanced an understanding of the tonal tradition as both natural and German.
