Su questo libro

Descrizione del libro

First published in 1868, this study presents the theories of the philosopher and historian Joseph Goddard (1833–1910) on the connection between music and the human spirit. It argues that two major counterparts of emotion - instinctive and abstract - correlate directly with two key elements of music: melody and harmony.
