The book therefore writes against that notion of absolute music which tends to be the paradigm for most musicological and analytical studies. It is concerned not so much with what music is, but with why and how meaning is constructed in instrumental music and what structures of knowledge need to be in place for such meaning to exist. From the thought of Vincenzo Galilei to that of Theodore Adorno, Daniel Chua suggests that instrumental music has always been a critical and negative force in modernity, even with its nineteenth-century apotheosis as 'absolute music'.New perspectives in music history and criticism ;4.Absolute Music & the Construction of MeaningAbsolute musicMusicPhilosophy and aestheticsAbsolute music.MusicPhilosophy and aesthetics.781.1/7Chua Daniel K.
