Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. 2018 Brill hardcover edition. Light reading wear else very good condition. From the cover: Among the many subjects on which Theophrastus wrote, music is one of the most fascinating, as is testified by the sources discussed in this volume. Although scanty, the material we have - sixteen texts altogether, most of which are indirect testimonies - gives an idea of the originality and modernity of Theophrastus' thought on music, and makes us regret that we do not know more. Our philosopher conceives of music as something that originates from a movement in the soul caused by passions and comes into existence through the body. Accordingly, he is interested in performance - i.e. the way in which musical expression is brought to the listener - and its effects on the soul and the body - e.g. musical therapy.

Rilegatura Edit Sovracoperta. Condition: Come Nuovo. Come Nuovo. 8vo, tela ed in sovracoperta, pp.1300. Come aggregare i suoni in strutture sempre più complesse, dai tetracordi fino ai sistemi di un'ottava, un'ottava e mezza, due ottave? Questo l'oggetto dell'antica scienza armonica. Il principio ordinatore deve ricercarsi, con i Pitagorici e Platone, in rapporti e sequenze numeriche, cioè in entità extramusicali che colleghino i suoni al macrocosmo? Oppure deve nascere dalla percezione della musica reale, come ritenevano gli empiristi di età classica e Aristosseno? È proprio questo dilemma che ancor oggi rende affascinante l'armonica. Oltre gli aridi calcoli dei quali si fa scudo, essa si rivela come una provincia liminare del pensiero, al crocevia tra acustica, astronomia, matematica, geometria e psicologia. Il documento più completo di questa scienza è l'"Armonica" di Claudio Tolemeo (ca 100-178), da lui scritta forse verso la fine della sua vita. Il trattato si presenta come la summa di circa sei secoli di storia dell'armonica e propone un nuovo equilibrio, debitore dell'ilemorfismo aristotelico, in cui alla ragione e alla percezione vengono riconosciute prerogative distinte e complementari. L'opera si conclude, in un grande sforzo di sistemazione enciclopedica, con una serie di analogie tra l'armonica e la psicologia, l'etica, la politica, l'astronomia.…

Brossura. Condition: nuovo. Inschibboleth Edizioni, 2021. 208pp -- Zeus si è appena insediato sul suo trono divino e sta per sposare Mnemosine. Dovrebbe essere un momento di festa, invece sull'Olimpo c'è un silenzio strano. Gli altri dèi stanno lì, fermi, intorno al nuovo sovrano; nessuno fiata. Alla fine il dio si decide a rompere l'imbarazzo: «C'è qualcos'altro di cui avete bisogno?», chiede. E quelli rispondono che sì, in effetti manca ancora una cosa: qualcuno che sappia cantare la grandezza di Zeus. A cosa serve sconfiggere i Titani, portare ordine nel caos, separare il regno dei vivi da quello dei morti, insomma dar forma all'universo sembrano dire gli dèi se poi non c'è chi canti tutto questo? Ed ecco che da Zeus e Mnemosine nasceranno le Muse, fonti della musica e della poesia. La musica è necessaria: è il canto incessante delle Muse a sorreggere il mondo degli dèi e degli uomini, tessendo in un'unica trama il passato, il presente e il futuro. I miti musicali del mondo classico sono gli scampoli di quel tessuto, e tra essi rovista questo libretto, che narra di musicisti umani e divini, famosi e ignoti, fortunati e sventurati; e di una musica che può salvare o uccidere, costruire mondi o distruggerli. …

Buch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - Porphyry s Commentary on Ptolemy s Harmonics is a unique document of Neoplatonic thought on music. Not only does it contain a thorough discussion of the perception and appreciation of pitched sounds, but it also gives us a hint of how the technicalities of music theory might have been taught to non specialised readers with a philosophical background; moreover, it is a treasure of quotations from lost authors and works. The apparatus of this new edition includes all the emendations and conjectures that have been proposed by many scholars since Ingemar Düring s 1932 edition and takes into account a few manuscripts that escaped the previous editor s otherwise remarkable recensio. The boundaries of some quotations from ancient authors are redefined and many misprints corrected. Finally, the text of the Byzantine epitome of the Commentary is here edited for the first time.…
