The String Quartets of Beethoven by William Kinderman screenshot
English | Publisher: University of Illinois Press, 2006 | 360 Pages | PDF | 5 MB
"We do not understand music–it understands us." This aphorism by Theodor W. Adorno expresses that quandary and fascination many listeners have felt in approaching Beethoven's late quartets. No group of compositions occupies a more central position in chamber music, yet the meaning of these works continues to stimulate debate.

Music as Thought: Listening to the Symphony in the Age of Beethoven by Mark Evan Bonds screenshot
English | Publisher: Princeton University Press, 2006 | 192 Pages | PDF | 2,3 MB
Before the nineteenth century, instrumental music was considered inferior to vocal music. Kant described wordless music as "more pleasure than culture," and Rousseau dismissed it for its inability to convey concepts. But by the early 1800s, a dramatic shift was under way. Purely instrumental music was now being hailed as a means to knowledge and embraced precisely because of its independence from the limits of language. What had once been perceived as entertainment was heard increasingly as a vehicle of thought. Listening had become a way of knowing.

Music and the Modern Condition: Investigating the Boundaries by Ljubica Ilic screenshot
English | Publisher: Routledge, 2010 | 132 Pages | PDF | 2,8 MB
Two crucial moments in the formation and disintegration of musical modernity and the musical canon occurred at the turn of the seventeenth and the first half of the twentieth century. Dr Ljubica Ilic provides a fresh and close look at these moments, exploring the ways musical compositions shift to and away from ideological structures identified with modernity. The focus is on European art music whose grand narrative, defined by tonality and teleological development, begins in the seventeenth century and ends with twentieth-century modernisms.
