- Double-weighted statement
- At 190,000 words, with 120 illustrations, this monograph represents a substantial academic endeavour of extended scale and scope. It covers an extremely broad range of historical materials, over 1000 years from ninth-century plainchant to twenty-first-century popular music and music for video games. The book is intellectually ambitious and considers the theme of emotion in western music by bringing together orientations from music studies, psychology and philosophy. To cite Prof Robert Hatten, ‘In this extraordinary volume, building on decades of research and musical analysis, Michael Spitzer offers the reader not one but two books’.
