Routledge Art Music: Love, Listening and Soulfulness Book

Explore the deep connection between sound and human experience in Art Music: Love, Listening and Soulfulness. Published by Routledge, this work examines how listening serves as a central part of living rather than just a passive activity. Matthew Del Nevo writes from the perspective of a philosophy of sensibility, exploring how music can transport a person into a different way of being. This book looks at the aesthetic experience of listening to art music throughout the development and disintegration of Western civilization. By focusing on the psychological elements of the musical experience, Del Nevo provides a unique look at how music forms the bedrock of deep emotion. It is an essential read for those interested in the intersection of music theory, philosophy, and the human soul.
