When Machines Play Chopin looks at this paradox between thinking about and practicing music to show what three literary works say about automation and the sublime in art.Interdisciplinary German cultural studies ;8.German literature19th centuryHistory and criticismMusical instruments in literatureMusic in literatureMusic and literatureGermanyHistory19th centuryElectronic books.German literatureHistory and criticism.Musical instruments in literature.Music in literature.Music and literatureHistory830.9/3578Hirt Katherine Maree1048709MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910459244603321When machines play Chopin2477166UNINA
