Musical values -- Back to Beethoven -- A state of crisis? -- An imaginary object -- A matter of representation -- Music and the academy -- Music and gender -- Conclusion.
This "Very Short Introduction" to music invites us to really think about music and the values and qualities we ascribe to it. Drawing on a range of examples from Beethoven to the Spice Girls to Chinese zither music, Nicholas Cook attempts to provide a framework for thinking about all music.
