{"product_id":"musical-understandings","title":"Musical Understandings","description":"\u003cp\u003eMusical Understandings presents an engaging collection of essays on the philosophy of music, written by Stephen Davies--one of the most distinguished philosophers in the field. He explores a range of topics in the philosophy of music, including how music expresses emotion and what is distinctive to the listener's response to this expressiveness; the modes of perception and understanding that can be expected of skilled listeners, performers, analysts, and composers and the various manners in which these understandings can be manifest; the manner in which musical works exist and their relation to their instances or performances; and musical profundity. As well as reviewing the work of philosophers of music, a number of the chapters both draw on and critically reflect on current work by psychologists concerning music. The collection includes new material, a number of adapted articles which allow for a more comprehensive, unified treatment of the issues at stake, and work published in English for the first time.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Stephen Davies","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43573027733565,"sku":"9780199608775","price":241.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0597\/7689\/2989\/files\/9780199608775.jpg?v=1788509287","url":"https:\/\/www.palmleaf.com.au\/products\/musical-understandings","provider":"Palmleaf","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
