Abstract

Time in romantic philosophies of music.- Romanticism, as an intellectual movement, presupposes a new vision, one which we are still living off. This paper makes a critique of time in the music of the period, and in musical thought of the period (taking for granted that the music and the thought are eseentially related). In this context, the question is raised, what conception of time is to be found in the philosophers of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries? This leads on to a study of time in music and in musical theory, especially in those of the nineteenth centuries
