Description

Explore the foundational concept of listener attention in Western classical music through this scholarly examination of late eighteenth-century German musical thought. This book traces how Enlightenment critics understood the technical features of compositions by Gluck, C. P. E. Bach, and Georg Benda as deliberate devices for capturing and maintaining audience focus. Discover the historical roots of the silent, attentive concert experience that defines modern classical music culture, revealing how German theorists categorised different types of attention and their role in musical expression. Essential reading for musicologists, classical music enthusiasts, and anyone interested in how listening practices evolved during this transformative period in European cultural history.
