Editorial Reviews
Review
'... the translations are elegant and thoughtfully done, with helpful annotations and there are useful introductory essays on Sulzer and Koch by the two editors ... the extracts translated provide a very useful indication of the musical intellectual thought in German-speaking countries in the late 18th century'. The Musical Times
Book Description
The writings of Sulzer and Koch represent a significant confluence of philosophical and musical thought from the German Enlightenment. Koch creatively adapted many of Sulzer's abstract philosophical ideas to concrete questions of musical pedagogy, showing how they could be usefully applied to the teaching and analysis of musical composition. This collaborative study and translation of the texts will be of interest to all historians of music, music theory, and historians of eighteenth-century German aesthetic thought.
