The result is \u003ci\u003eWays of Hearing, \u003c\/i\u003ea diverse collection that explores the ways music shapes us and our shared culture. These acts of musical witness bear fruit through personal essays, conversations and interviews, improvisatory meditations, poetry, and visual art. They sound the depths of a remarkable range of musical genres, including opera, jazz, bluegrass, and concert music both classical and contemporary. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis expansive volume spans styles and subjects, including Pico Iyer's meditations on Handel, Arnold Steinhardt's thoughts on Beethoven's \u003ci\u003eGrosse Fuge\u003c\/i\u003e, and Laurie Anderson and Edgar Choueiri's manifesto for spatial music. Richard Powers discusses the one thing about music he's never told anyone, Daphne Brooks draws sonic connections between Toni Morrison and Cécile McLorin Salvant, and Ruth Bader Ginsburg reveals what she thinks is the sexiest duet in opera. Poems interspersed throughout further expand how we can imagine and respond to music. \u003ci\u003eWays of Hearing \u003c\/i\u003eis a book for our times that celebrates the infinite ways music enhances our lives.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eScott Burnham\u003c\/b\u003e is Distinguished Professor of Music at the Graduate Center, City University of New York, and Scheide Professor of Music History Emeritus at Princeton University. \u003cb\u003eMarna Seltzer\u003c\/b\u003e is artistic and administrative director of Princeton University Concerts. \u003cb\u003eDorothea von Moltke\u003c\/b\u003e is co-owner of Labyrinth Books in Princeton, New Jersey.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 216\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.7 x 8.4 x 5.4 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e April 04, 2023\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51760962634016,"sku":"9780691230689","price":16.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0974\/9764\/5344\/files\/97970c70ab1a90dc3291861b18de09d1.webp?v=1780195418","url":"https:\/\/ebocreations.com\/products\/ways-of-hearing-reflections-on-music-in-26-pieces-paperback","provider":"The E-Book Oasis LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
