Perfect Harmony and Melting Strains
Transformations of Music in Early Modern Culture between Sensibility and Abstraction
herausgegeben von Cornelia Wilde und Wolfram KellerThe volume assembles interdisciplinary essays investigating concepts of harmony at a time when the Pythagorean notion of a harmoniously ordered cosmos was transformed by new theories about sound and new ways of conceptualizing the world. Contributions examine late-medieval and early modern ideas concerning the nature of music and cosmic harmony, and trace their transformations in early modern musico-literary discourses.
