Más información sobre el libro

Employing semiotic theory, this study explores musical communication within large orchestral works from the turn of the century, challenging conventional analysis. It defines musical meaning across various levels, including inherent structures, tradition, genre, and narrative parallels with contemporary non-musical texts. By integrating concepts from Eco, Barthes, and Derrida, the author combines analytical insights with cultural interpretation, offering a comprehensive examination of the symphony's significance within its historical and artistic context.
