Music and the Origins of Language: Theories from the French Enlightenment - New Perspectives in Music History and Criticism
Thomas, Downing A. (University of Iowa)
This study analyses reflections on music and music theory as they appear within the logical and narrative structure of texts by, for example, Rousseau, Diderot, Rameau and Condillac, and considers the ways in which music facilitates links between language and meaning, between conceptions of an original society and an ideal social order.
