In analyzing the striking qualities of Boccherini's music-its virtuosity, repetitiveness, obsessively nuanced dynamics, delicate sonorities, and rich palette of melancholy affects-Le Guin develops a historicized critical method based on the embodied experience of the performer. In the process, she redefines the temperament of the musical Enlightenment as one characterized by urgent, volatile inquiries into the nature of the self. A CD of sound examples, performed by the author and her string quartet, is included with the book. 606 $aMusic$xInterpretation (Phrasing, dynamics, etc.) 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aMusic$xInterpretation (Phrasing, dynamics, etc.) 676 $a780/.92 700 $aLe Guin$b Elisabeth$f1957-$0792371 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910450216403321 996 $aBoccherini's body$91771788 997 $aUNINA
