Unsung Voices Opera and Musical Narrative in the Nineteenth Century By: Carolyn Abbate Publisher: Princeton University Press Print ISBN: 9780691091402, 0691091404 eText ISBN: 9781400843831, 1400843839 Copyright year: 1996 Format: PDF Available from $ 55.00 USD SKU: 9781400843831 Who speaks to us in The Sorcerer's Apprentice, in Wagner's operas, in a Mahler symphony? In asking this question, Carolyn Abbate opens nineteenth-century operas and instrumental works to new interpretations as she explores the voices projected by music. The nineteenth-century metaphor of music that sings is thus reanimated in a new context, and Abbate proposes interpretive strategies that de-center music criticism, that seek the polyphony and dialogism of music, and that celebrate musical gestures often marginalized by conventional music analysis.
