More about the book
Exploring the voices within nineteenth-century operas and symphonic works, Carolyn Abbate reinterprets the metaphor of music that "sings." She introduces innovative interpretive strategies that challenge traditional music criticism by focusing on the polyphony and dialogism present in musical compositions. Abbate highlights often-overlooked musical gestures, encouraging a deeper understanding of how music communicates and resonates beyond conventional analysis.
