Philosophers on Music: Experience, Meaning, and Work presents significant new contributions to central issues in the philosophy of music, written by leading philosophers working in the analytic tradition. The issues tackled include: the question of what sort of thing a work of music is, the nature of the relation between a musical work and versions of it, the nature of musical expression and its contribution to musical experience, the relation of music to metaphor, the nature of musical irony, the musical status of electro-sonic art, and the nature of musical rhythm. Aestheticians, musicologists, music practitioners, and those interested in philosophy generally will find the papers in this volume rewarding reading.
