Summary
"This book explores the pivotal role played by ancient mousike-in all its facets-in the development of musical practices and ideas throughout history. As well as reassessing the paradigmatic value of the Greek model in the musical reception of antiquity in different historical periods, Eleonora Rocconi also highlights its persisting contribution to modern cultural debates within the realms of classics, musicology, philosophy, aesthetics, anthropology, performance, and cultural studies, as well as in artistic environments"-- Provided by publisher.
