Emotion and Meaning in MusicUniversity of Chicago Press, 1 jun 2008 - 315 páginas "Altogether it is a book that should be required reading for any student of music, be he composer, performer, or theorist.

McAllester, American Anthropologist "A book which should be read by all who want deeper insights into music listening, performing, and composing."—Marcus G. Raskin, Chicago Review |
