From the perspectives of philosophy, literary scholarship, and musicology, the contributions consider music's ambivalent position between mathematical abstraction and sensibility, between the metaphysics of harmony and the physics of sound. Essays examine the late medieval and early modern history of ideas concerning the nature of music and cosmic harmony, and trace their transformations in early modern musico-literary discourses. Within this framework, essays further offer original readings of important philosophical, literary, and musicological works. This interdisciplinary volume brings into focus the transformation of a predominant Renaissance worldview and of music's scientific, theological, literary, as well as cultural conceptions and functions in the early modern period, and will be of interest to scholars of the classics, philosophy, musicology, as well as literary and cultural studies.Transformationen der Antike HarmonyHistoryHistory.fastPythagoreanism.Reception of anitquity.music theory.HarmonyHistory.781.25Keller Wolfram R.Wilde CorneliaMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK996331942703316Perfect harmony and melting strains2570602UNISA
