Music and Discourse: Toward a Semiology of Music
Jean-Jacques Nattiez
Examines both music, and discourse about music, as products of human activity that are perceived in varying ways by various cultures. This book proposes a global theory for the interpretation of specific pieces, the phenomenon of music, and the human behaviors that music elicits. It also reviews issues raised by the notion of the musical sign.
