Description

Explore the origins of modern Western musical culture with this scholarly study from Routledge. This book investigates how the concept of attention shaped musical thought during the late eighteenth century. It examines the silent attentiveness expected of modern concert audiences and traces its foundations through the writings of German musical commentators. By analyzing historical texts, the work explains how technical musical features were used as tools to arouse, sustain, or influence a listener's focus. The research provides deep insight into the historical development of how we listen to music today. The text uses specific musical examples from influential figures such as Gluck, C. P. E. Bach, and Georg Benda to illustrate these evolving concepts of wonder and astonishment in the German Enlightenment.
