He explores a range of topics in the philosophy of music, including how music expresses emotion and what is distinctive to the listener's response to this expressiveness; the modes of perception and understanding that can be expected of skilled listeners, performers, analysts, and composers and the various manners in which these understandings can be manifest; the manner in which musical works exist and their relation to their instances or performances; and musical profundity. As well as reviewing the work of philosophers of music, a number of the chapters both draw on and critically reflect on current work by psychologists concerning music. The collection includes new material, a number of adapted articles which allow for a more comprehensive, unified treatment of the issues at stake, and work published in English for the first time.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"OUP Oxford","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47599770697879,"sku":"9780199608775","price":9022.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780199608775.webp?v=1775005651","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/musical-understandings-and-other-essays-on-the-philosophy-of-music-9780199608775","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
