Listening for Utopia in Ernst Bloch's Musical Philosophy
Korstvedt, Benjamin M. (Clark University, Massachusetts)
Ernst Bloch's philosophy of music is richly insightful, but often forbidding in its density. This book makes Bloch's musical thought accessible to modern musical scholars by deciphering its conceptual bases. Korstvedt then uses ideas derived from Bloch as the starting point for critical essays on Wagner, Mozart, Bruckner and Brahms.
