Mahler's Sixth Symphony: A Study in Musical Semiotics - Cambridge Studies in Music Theory and Analysis
Samuels, Robert (The Open University, Milton Keynes)
This study uses a semiotic theory of signification in order to investigate different types of musical communication. Musical meaning is defined on several levels from structure, through questions of tradition and genre, to consideration of the symphony as a narrative alongside other contemporary non-musical texts.
