Interpreting Music is a comprehensive essay on understanding musical meaning and performing music meaningfullymdash;"interpreting music" in both senses of the term. Synthesizing and advancing two decades of highly influential work; Lawrence Kramer fundamentally rethinks the concepts of work; score; performance; performativity; interpretation; and meaningmdash;even the very concept of musicmdash;while breaking down conventional wisdom and received ideas. Kramer argues that music; far from being closed to interpretation; is ideally open to it; and that musical interpretation is the paradigm of interpretation in general. The book illustrates the many dimensions of interpreting music through a series of case studies drawn from the classical repertoire; but its methods and principles carry over to other repertoires just as they carry beyond music by working through music to wider philosophical and cultural questions.

2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. perfect beach house book!By J. KlausThis is a fun book to glance through and read. Great ideas on how to renovate a property and decorate a small space to make it look larger and function better.The author is excellent at renovation and creatively taking eye sore buildings and making them beautiful.Most of the properties are located on Tybee Island. GA. 20 minutes outside the city of Savannah. GA. The island had plummeted into disrepair and thanks to people like the author. is making a comeback as a quaint. beautiful island.We have a beach house there and I had no idea this book highlighted the homes I had been seeing on bike rides - truly run down homes becoming beautiful cottages.Also a good book on how to make small city spaces seem larger too. Great fun.5 of 5 people found the following review helpful. GREAT IDEA SOURCEBy Travelhound"Cottages" is the latest collaboration between writer/sylist Brian Coleman and photographer Douglas Keister. They profile fifteen homes including beach cottages. urban bungalows. historic houses and a cutting edge structure in Canada. Colemans copy is rich and the photographs are gorgeous. but there could have been more diversity since eight houses are on Georgias Tybee Island. Still. "Cottages" offers an abundance of fresh and invigorating decorating ideas. especially with use of color. Its the perfect book for for lovers of small homes and/or empty nesters looking to downsize with style.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Good quality bookBy CustomerGood quality book.
