Authorial Intention and the Pure Musical Parameters

Abstract

Strictly speaking this is not an essay whose sole subject is music. For what I have to say here can be extrapolated to any other art that possesses the kinds of aesthetic properties that I am referring to, in music, as the ‘pure musical parameters’. But I shall not attempt such an extrapolation here, and leave it to the reader. So for all intents and purposes, this is an essay on music , more particularly, absolute music, music alone, without text, title, program, dramatic setting, or any other extra-musical baggage
