Sommario/riassunto |
|
'Dreams of Love' pursues a wide-ranging interdisciplinary approach to understanding the concert pianist as a 'Romantic' and seductive-even erotic-figure in the popular imagination focusing on the role of technology in perpetuating this mythology over the past two centuries through the touch, sights and sounds of the pianist's playing. |
