The Musical Work: Reality Or Invention?Michael Talbot Like literature and art, music has works. But not every piece of music is called a work, and not every musical performance is made up of works. From plainsong to the symphony, from Duke Ellington to the Beatles, this title offers an investigation into how our minds parcel up the music that we create and hear. |
