English | 2025 | ISBN-10: 3032047064 | 528 pages | Epub PDF (True) | 54 MB
This book focuses on the shift in the perception of music by educated classes, from the Greek view as an essentially rational enterprise to the modern view as an essentially artistic enterprise. One of the main parties responsible for the decline of the Greek view was Joseph Sauveur. Although historians universally acknowledge his foundational contributions to the evolution of music, there is a paucity of comprehensive scholarship on his life and work. This book aims to address this gap.
